Per David Akers' "United States Gold Coins - An Analysis Of Auction Records - Volume V - Eagles 1795-1933" (1980), This date is just one of the many grossly underrated dates in the Liberty Head Eagle series. It is very rare and difficult to obtain in any condition and, when located, VF or EF is about all one can expect." Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia Of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" (2008) maintains, "The 1845 eagle is a great, low-mintage date whose rarity has withstood the test of time. Certainly, it is not as rare as the 1844, but it compares favorably with the 1846 and 1849-O. The vast majority of 1845 eagles are in circulated condition, mostly EF or worse, rarely in AU, and almost never in Mint State." Q. David Bowers' "Official Red Book - A Guide To Gold Eagle Coins" (2017) states, "As is true of all other eagles of this era, VF and EF are par for grades usually seen, with VF predominating."

OGH. I have identified 3 Obverses associated with the 1846 Philadelphia Eagle. The first has a heavy date and thick serifs with a die scratch between the upper lobe of the 6 and the lower loop as shown above and also shown on PCGS's S/N 30131711 (MS62+). The second also has a heavy date and thick serifs but without the die scratch at the lobe and with a more pronounced scallop on the lower loop near the lobe (30752335 AU58 - Heritage Auction 12/4/2014). And the third has a lighter date with thin serifs placed further left than the heavy dates, with die file marks at the dentils below the date and a small file mark at the hair at the back of Liberty's neck as shown on PCGS's S/N 40656532 MS60. Minor differences exist on the reverses also (Horizontal and vertical shield lines differences) Q. David Bowers references notes from Harry W. Bass Jr. and refers to large and small date versions of the 1846 eagle, however, I have not been able to find evidence (Photos) of such. Pedigree - Steve Studer Collection (2021)

Garrett and Guth in their "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins" states, "The 1851 eagle might appear to be a common coin at first glance, but it is much scarcer than the mintage indicates. It is comparable in rarity to the 1848 and 1854, but much scarcer than the 1841, 1844-O, 1847, 1847-O, 1849, 1851-O and 1852 (to name a few). Circulated examples are available up through AU50, after which the rarity increases dramatically." Q. David Bowers' "Red Book" for gold eagles suggests that between 1200 and 1500 1851 eagles exist, however this seems like an inflated number or a typo (200-500 seems to be a more accurate number). To date only 550 1851 eagles have been graded by PCGS (215) and NGC (335) and that number includes resubmissions. The PCGS CoinFacts suggests a total population of only 225 exist in all grades and Garrett and Guth list a "graded" population figure of 393 (2008). David Akers auction analysis states, "This date is rare and underrated in all grades"

Normal Date. Although the inverted date coin gets most of the attention, the normal date is the rarer of the two. What appears to be a scratch on the reverse running from the T in TEN, thru the mint mark, to the end of the olive branch and ending at the corner of the lowest arrow head, is in fact a die clash. This can be readily seen on the three AU50 examples shown on PCGS's website. The 5 in the date is noticeably doubled, especially evident at the 5's flag. This coin is significantly under-graded (1-2 steps in my opinion). The coin has significant luster remaining in the protected areas of the legend, around the devices, date and stars. This is in sharp contrast to the given grade. ANA grading standards describe the "EF-40 Surface: Traces of mint luster will show.", while the VF30 does not mention mint luster at all. PCGS's own grading standards describe the XF40 as "All design elements still show, but high points worn flat. Little to no luster remains." The weakness seen on the stars and eagle's neck is explained in Douglas Winter's PCGS write-up, "The quality of the strike is very distinctive with soft radial lines in the stars and a slightly concave appearance on the obverse. The reverse is better struck although many examples show weakness on the neck feathers. I have never seen an 1865-S Normal Date eagle that did not have heavily abraded surfaces and most have enough wear to lack any significant luster." This coin also compares favorably to PCGS's Photograde page for $10 Gold Eagles, VF30 and VF35 (exclusive of the weak eagle neck described above). The observation by Mr. Akers regarding rarity is confirmed when looking at recent auction records from three well known auction houses dating back to 2010. 21 normal date coins have appeared at auction versus 43 inverted date coins over that almost 11 year period. Walter Breen's "Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. And Colonial Coins" describes the 1865-S as ""Type 1" rev. Large S. Doubled rev. Very rare." "Doubling plainest at TEN, United, adjacent wing tips, leaves, feathers." This doubling is very minute needing relatively high magnification to see.

Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" states, "The 1876-S eagle is difficult to obtain in any grade and is an extremely popular date because of the low mintage (tied for second lowest at the San Francisco Mint). Most of the certified examples fall into the Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated categories, with none graded at the Mint State level." Walter Breen's "Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins" identifies the 1876-S eagle as "Very Rare". His book was published in 1987, probably before some repatriations which may have increased the known examples. Likewise, David Aker's Auction Analysis "Volume V - Eagles 1795-1933" (published in 1980) comments, "The mintage of the 1876-S is the second lowest from the San Francisco Mint (tied with the 1860-S) and so it comes as no surprise that this date is very rare in any condition... In terms of condition rarity, the 1876-S is near the top of the series, ranking in the top 10% of all $10 issues. The typical grade for this very rare date is VF and there are more that grade below VF than above it." His Average Grade at the time was VF24.
