Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2877 1806/4 Breen 1 AU $6,000.00 About Uncirculated or thereabouts from a technical standpoint and displaying plenty of frosty lustre on both the obverse and reverse. The edge, however, reveals mild evidence of having been mounted at 12:00. As is always the case for this date, the centers on either side exhibit the usual degree of softness. The fields and design features, likewise, display just a trifle more disturbance than...  more Categories  •  Stack's January 2006 → The Americana Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Capped Bust Left Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2878 1808 Br.1 EF $30,000.00 A strong Extremely Fine example and still offering hints of muted mint lustre in the most protected areas of the design. Deep yellow-golden surfaces are smooth and surprisingly well balanced for a coin of this type. The hair curls and wing feathers retain plenty of definition, and there is only a limited degree of the peripheral weakness that typically plagues this issue. It goes without saying that this...  more Categories  •  Stack's January 2006 → The Americana Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Capped Head Left Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2879 1830 Br.1 CH AU $8,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A well struck example of this rare date. Only 4,540 were struck of this reduced diameter issue. This size was struck for six years only. The piece is pale yellow gold in color from a gentle cleaning. The obverse rim was skillfully smoothed at 10 and 5:00. Categories  •  Stack's January 2006 → The Americana Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Classic Head Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2880 1834 Small Head, Large Arrowheads AU $800.00 About Uncirculated. Crisply struck, rich orange-gold surfaces exhibit hints of reflectivity in the fields and protected areas of the devices. Here is a highly attractive specimen of the short-lived Classic Head type. 2881 1835 AU $1,300.00 About Uncirculated. Substantial lustre surrounds the well-defined reliefs. The obverse center is somewhat weak, though the corresponding area of the reverse is very distinct with a small scuff over the left wreath tip. 2882 1836 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,200.00 - and on the threshold of Choice. Fully lustrous surfaces glow with richly reflective beauty. A glass will locate a few trivial marks of little visual importance, but this sharply struck coin shows the Classic Head design at its best and will repay careful examination. NGC MS62 BASS. 2883 1836 AU $800.00 About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear. Pleasing golden centers are haloed in rich copper-gold toning to provide delightful two-tone appeal. 2884 1836 AU $550.00 About Uncirculated. A lustrous coin with greenish-gold toning. Some minor abrasion is noted on both sides but it is not too detracting. 2885 1836 EF $220.00 Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the obverse shows the rigors of being in a one sided jewelry mounting. The reverse is totally original but does show a rim nick or two. 2886 1837 CH AU $5,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Such circulation as may be present is best described as inconspicuous. Lustre is virtually full and the strike is outstanding, resulting in forthright and undeniable eye appeal. 2887 1837 AU $1,300.00 Strong About Uncirculated or somewhat better. Substantial lustre complements a sharp impression of the dies. Wear is light and confined to the high points, some scattered tics may be found. 2888 1838 VF $425.00 Very Fine. Wear is without special problems and most detail of the major devices is clear, while the coin's overall color has its own appeal. 2889 1838'C' About Uncirculated AU $2,750.00 - or nearly so with respect to wear. Both sides of this rare date are deeply toned in rich coppery hues. Only 7,880 were struck. Some central scrapes and rim marks are evident on either side beneath the toning. 2890 1839'O' EF $1,100.00 Extremely Fine. Lightly circulated though showing scattered contact tics, this is a generally satisfying example of the only Classic Head date struck at New Orleans, one of 17,781 minted and traditionally in great demand. Categories  •  Stack's January 2006 → The Americana Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Liberty Head Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2891 1844'C' CH AU $5,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated or finer. This boldly yellow-gold coin boasts a truly superior strike with a small planchet lamination in the upper reverse field. Actual circulation must be called minimal, with hairline scratches in the fields to be found with effort. One of 11,622 struck at Charlotte. Only 42 in all grades appear in the Dannreuther-Garrett auction listing, with the present...  more 2892 1844'D' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $3,250.00 Lovely lemon-gold toning over surfaces that are a bit weakly struck in the center. The lustre is excellent and the surfaces are well preserved but for a deep scuff through the first 'A' of AMERICA on the reverse. A very difficult date to acquire since only 17,332 pieces were minted. 2893 1845'D' AU $3,500.00 About Uncirculated. Deep yellow-gold lustre shows a trace of red. Bold 'D' mintmark touches both arrow feathers and '1' of the fraction. This pleasing coin is one of 19,460 struck at Dahlonega, and shows little of the softness at the centers noted by Akers. This is a distinctly better-than-average example of this Branch Mint date, virtually unobtainable in full Mint State. PCGS AU50. 2894 1848'D' CH EF $5,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Much pale lustre congregates around the high rims, wear is generally light but three contact marks will be found on Liberty's face. This appealing coin is one of only 15,771 struck and represents a median grade for the date among surviving examples. PCGS XF45. 2895 1850'O' CH AU $800.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Deep greenish-gold toning over weakly struck surfaces which is typical for this date. The weakness shows in the hair curls and the corresponding area on the reverse which is the shield and the eagle's neck and legs. The lustre is good, which gives this coin a decent appearance. 2896 1851'O' Repunched Date. Breen 6214 AU $750.00 About Uncirculated. Strong repunching is noted at the first '1' and the '51' of the date. Shimmering, orange-gold mint lustre joins light circulation on this coin's even, very appealing surfaces. 2897 1852 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $260.00 - nearly Choice. Light gold and quite frosty in its lustre, this original, very attractive specimen exhibits a bold strike on both sides. Overzealous die polishing by mint technicians has nearly effaced the vertical stripes in eagle's shield. 2898 1852 AB EF $160.00 About Extremely Fine. Pale yellow-gold surfaces exhibit a touch of lustre in the protected areas. 2899 1853 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $170.00 - or nearly so. Pale greenish-gold toning over lightly hairlined surfaces. Still has a decent appearance for the grade. 2900 1853 AU $260.00 Extremely Fine, nearly Choice save for a pinscratch on Liberty's jaw; 1902 About Uncirculated. Nice crisp strike. Minute dig on right edge. 2 pieces. 2901 1855 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $320.00 - or virtually so with respect to wear. Frosty yellow gold surfaces are framed by rims that exhibit evidence of skillful past smoothing. 2902 1856'S' AU $850.00 About Uncirculated. Decent lustre under orange-gold toning. The strike is adequate with just some weakness on the eagle's neck. A scarce date with only 72,120 pieces struck, very few of which survive with as much eye appeal as the present example. 2903 1857 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $280.00 A lustrous example that is a bit weakly struck in the hair above the eye and the corresponding reverse area. No major marks to mention. A decent example of this middle early date. PCGS MS61. 2904 1857'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $7,000.00 - or finer. A meticulous strike results in partial obverse wire rim, and the glowing yellow surfaces are amazingly free of troubling marks. Mint records show a relatively small mintage of 69,200, only a small percentage of which survives for today's collectors. The 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett auction record shows only 23 appearances of this desirable date, of which only four were in any...  more 2905 1857'S' AU $1,250.00 About Uncirculated. A scarce date exhibiting strong copper patina over moderately lustrous fields. An interesting and desirable example of a pre-Civil War gold piece. The typical light circulation marks do not detract from the interesting patina and are consistent with the grade. 2906 1859'D' CH AU $6,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Devices and legends are boldly struck and crisply defined for coins of this branch mint. Rich, orange-gold toning is supplanted by abundant mint frost in the fields, in the devices and in the areas around the legends. Proportionally, more 1859'D' Quarter Eagles are available in high grade, perhaps because they were saved as the final emission of this denomination...  more Page 1 of 4  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
