The April 2022 Stack’s Bowers sale of the Fairmont/”Hendricks” set of Liberty Head half eagles, eagles, and double eagles has been analyzed by a number of numismatic sources…

I have written these words before but I still feel that the No Motto Philadelphia half eagle date run, issued from 1840 through 1865, contains a number of under-appreciated issues.
