Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1159 1798 Breen 2. 5 Berries EF $9,500.00 Extremely Fine. Greenish-gold toning over slightly reflective surfaces. The fields exhibit the characteristics of a coin that has been in jewelry but the edge does not show any mount marks or repair work. The coin has a decent strike and still has a quality appearance. The as yet unpublished Bass-Dannreuther early gold reference estimates a surviving population of 50 pieces of this variety. 1160 1805 Br.1 CH EF $6,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the coin has been previously cleaned and has a light greenish-gold tint. The reverse shows a few scratches over somewhat reflective surfaces. The strike is decent with some lustre still remaining. This early Quarter Eagle still has a decent appearance and should be viewed closely. Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → Stack's 70th Anniversary Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Capped Head Left Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1161 1824/1 Br.1 AU $11,750.00 About Uncirculated. An attractive greenish-gold patina gives this coin a pleasant appearance. The surfaces are decent for the grade and the strike about average for the issue. One of only 2,600 coins struck, the as yet unpublished Bass-Dannreuther early gold book estimates a surviving population of just 30 pieces. A very difficult type to find this finely preserved, as most are damaged...  more 1162 1827 Br.1. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $22,000.00 - and an entirely respectable example of this very rare early Quarter Eagle issue. Deep yellow-golden fields and design elements are bathed in a full measure of icy mint frost. There are some trivial roller striations at the central obverse that do not at all impede the overall presentation of this noteworthy coin. The strike, though not entirely full at the centers, is certainly sufficient,...  more 1163 1833 Br.1. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $48,000.00 Sharply struck with mellow gold surfaces and a wealth of fine detail. One of only 4,160 struck of this single variety for the date. The Dannreuther-Garrett auction report shows 31 appearance of this date over 10 years, only four of which were graded higher than the present example. This thoroughly pleasing coin must rank high in any listing of top-grade specimens that might be drawn...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → Stack's 70th Anniversary Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Classic Head Quarter Eagle Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1164 1836 AU $500.00 About Uncirculated. A lustrous coin with greenish-gold toning. Some minor abrasion is noted on both sides but is not too detracting. Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → Stack's 70th Anniversary Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Liberty Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1165 1840'O' CH AU $6,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated, nearly full Mint State. Here is a top quality example of the first New Orleans date boasting pleasing color and unusually full strike. Small round 'O' is pierced by the top of the arrow feather, distinctly different from the James A. Stack example that was Choice Very Fine. 1166 1842'C' AU $4,250.00 About Uncirculated. Delicate greenish-gold toning over well kept surfaces. The hair is very flat above Miss Liberty's head due to some striking irregularity. Still a decent appearing coin that had only 6,729 pieces struck for circulation. 1167 1845'D' AU $1,600.00 About Uncirculated. Rich greenish-gold toning over decent surfaces. The obverse is a little better struck than the reverse with the feathers on the eagle's neck flat. Good lustre still remains giving this popular southern mint coin nice appeal. A mere 19,460 pieces were coined of this branch mint issue. 1168 1846'C' CH EF $5,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Deep greenish-gold toning over typical surfaces normally seen with this mint product. The strike is weak in the central area, especially so on the reverse. Some lustre is still present although there are a moderate amount of circulation marks present. A very scarce date with only 4,808 pieces struck. 1169 1849'D' AU $2,400.00 About Uncirculated. A decently struck coin that unfortunately has been previously cleaned. There is no evidence of this coin being mounted, just someone's misguided attempt to improve this very scarce date that saw only 10,945 pieces struck. 1170 1855'D' AU $9,500.00 About Uncirculated in terms of wear but the coin has hairlines from a past cleaning. Well struck for this issue. No major marks are visible to detract from the eye appeal of this very rare date with only 1,123 pieces originally struck. 1171 1856 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $550.00 - and on the cusp of fully Choice. Pleasing, full lustre complements a boldly detailed strike, highlighting the high quality of this pre-Civil War Philadelphia date. NGC MS62. 1172 1857'O' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $11,000.00 Bright canary-yellow gold lustre draws the viewer's attention to the meticulous strike on this unusually high quality example of an elusive New Orleans date. Only 34,000 were struck, long before collecting by mintmark could save any appreciable number of high grade examples. The Dannreuther-Garrett 10-year auction record shows this to be the highest grade offered, represented by a single...  more 1173 1859'D' CH AU $9,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Exceptionally well struck for this Georgia Branch Mint, boasting full denticles and a large 'D' superimposed on the arrow feather. Substantial Mint lustre glows around the sharply defined reliefs to assure powerful visual appeal. One of 2,244 struck of the last Quarter Eagle produced at Dahlonega and a coin fully comparable to the James A. Stack example that...  more 1174 1861 New Reverse. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $500.00 Attractive surfaces exude creamy lustre. The strike is strong and the fields are quite nice for the grade. 1175 1878 EF $350.00 Extremely Fine. Nice lustre over well kept surfaces; 1909 Extremely Fine. Pale toning. 2 pieces. 1176 1903 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $325.00 Soft, creamy surfaces are well struck and attractive. 1177 1906 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $775.00 - and approaching the Gem category. Fantastic deeply glittering mint frost saturates this exciting example with exceptional beauty. 1178 1906 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $260.00 A splendidly struck coin that exhibits illuminating mint frost. Close scrutiny reveals what seems to be a small lamination adjacent to Liberty's ear. 1179 1906 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $300.00 This coin has the appearance of a higher grade but has a small disturbance in front of the face. Deep orange-gold toning. Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → Stack's 70th Anniversary Sale → U. S. Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) → U. S. Indian Quarter Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1180 1908 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,700.00 Satiny lustre bathes surfaces that have a few light marks, none of which are serious. The strike is adequate for this issue that is not always as strongly struck as some of the latter dates of this series. 1181 1908 EF to AU $500.00 Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated; 1914'D' About Uncirculated. Moderate and problem-free wear characterizes both coins. 2 pieces. 1182 1909 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $3,800.00 - on the cusp of full Gem with deeply glowing red-gold lustre emphasizing a meticulous strike. Akers' research established a rating of R-5 in this high grade. 1183 1910 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $400.00 - with claims to Choice. A handsome coin defined by its altogether remarkable red-gold glow. 1184 1910 CH AU $220.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Well struck with nice mint lustre. 1185 1911 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $6,000.00 Smooth and frosty gold surfaces accent a deep strike and resulting detail. 1186 1911 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $950.00 Pleasing lemon-yellow gold surfaces join a handsome strike for notable appeal. 1187 1911'D' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $24,000.00 A very attractive coin that exhibits satiny surfaces with warm mint color. The strike is sharp including a partial wire rim and a strongly impressed mintmark. This coin is a truly wonderful example of this key date to the entire Indian Head Quarter Eagle series. 1188 1911'D' CH AU $7,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated. This example of the rarest date of the Indian series shows an absolute minimum of nearly invisible wear, its real beauty enhanced by rich and virtually mark-free gold surfaces for the most irresistible appeal.
