Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1077		1806. PCGS graded MS-64. Better than average strike for this Draped Bust style quarter. The surfaces have a pleasing light grey toning on both sides, with a few deeper flecks of color scattered about. The devices show excellent definition of the finer details on Liberty's hair curls, as well as on the eagle's wings. This is noteworthy given the later die state here where multiple die cracks are present on the reverse, and extensive rim crumbling noted on the upper edge of the reverse. This die must have been falling apart! These add to the already considerable charm of the present coin, and invite study and give numismatic pleasure to anyone who appreciates the early struggles of our Philiadelphia Mint. Pop 10; 5 finer, 2 in 64+, 3 in 65. (PCGS # 5314) Value $18,000 - 20,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1078		1818. PCGS graded MS-66. An imperial example of this issue, with glittering mint frost on the surfaces and radiant luster in the fields. Boldly struck on all the devices and incredibly appealing for the virtual perfection of the surfaces and strike. There is multi-color peripheral toning on both sides which adds to the already amazing eye appeal of this condition rarity. Quite attractive. Not only is this coin stunning, but it is one of the finest seen of this date. Pop 4; 1 finer in 67.

Lot 1079		1818, 8 over 5. Browning-3, Rarity 3. PCGS graded MS-65. A memorable example of this overdate and a coin for the ages, as so few are known at the gem or finer grade level. This is a prized offering for the specialist. The surfaces are outstanding with delicate steel gray with golden accents near the rims. The centers are brighter white silver. As to the strike it is sharp on all of Liberty's curls. Frosty and nicely toned on both sides. The overdate feature has pretty much faded away from die lapping or wear, and the reverse is quickly identifiable by a thin crack up through the lowest arrowhead. Another condition rarity and worthy and an aggressive bid! Pop 1; 2 finer in 66. Value $18,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1080		1820. Large 0. B-1, Low Rarity 5. Sharpness of AU, cleaned long time ago. A scarce die pairing and a coin which has a lot to offer despite a minor cleaning in the past. The strike is sharp throughout, and there are no deep or detracting handling marks worthy of note. Value $500 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $930
Lot 1081		1825, 5 over 4. B-2, Rarity 2. Sharpness of AU, Cleaned and Retoned. Still a nice looking coin. Value $500 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $930
Lot 1082		1838. PCGS graded MS-64. This is the first year of issue of the new Christian Gobrecht design, which replaced the Capped Bust style mid year in 1838. The strike is a trifle soft on the stars and a few other design elements, but all the important design elements are present. Its is noteworthy that Gobrecht changed the lower reverse design to read Quar. Dol. from 25 Cents on the prior design, a change which seems a bit poorly thought out unless one is determined to have these coins known as "quarters". Nice light even toning on both sides. An attractive example of this new design from the year it was launched. Pop 26; 11 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5391) Value $6,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1083		1838. NGC graded MS-64. Here is an attractive and sharply struck example of this first year of issue of the Gobrecht design. The stars are all bold right to their central radial lines, and Liberty's head shows strong definition on her uppermost curls. The eagle's feathers and claws are well defined too. A frosty white example. Boldly struck. Pop 26; 9 finer at NGC. Value $5,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1084		1843. PCGS graded Proof 64. Boldly struck with a hint of light even tone on both sides especially around the rims. This is an incredibly rare issue with only 10 struck, with 6 to 8 examples estimated to have survived by PCGS Pop Report. This is one of the finer examples known today with glittering mirror fields and frosted devices. The surfaces show only a few trivial signs of handling, nothing to distract the eye, and of course, the incredible sharp strike expected. At the time these were coined, Proofs were not available to the general public, and production was extremely limited. Today these are the equivalent to numismatic caviar, seldom seen or offered, and always put away into advanced collections often for decades as a time. If you have ever desired one of these early delicacies then be prepared to do battle when this one crosses the auction block, another opportunity to buy an 1843 proof quarter may be years away. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 64+, 1 in 65. (PCGS # 5537) Value $25,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1085		1859. NGC graded Proof 65. Lovely blue reverse and golden toning which favors the obverse. Classic reflectivity in the fields offsets the frosted devices. Boldly impressed and a charming example of this early proof issue. A coin with strong visual appeal. Only 800 struck. Pop 21; 32 finer at NGC. Value $2,300 - 2,400 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,220
Lot 1086		1863. NGC graded Proof 66. CAC. PQ. Lovely pastel rainbow toning on both sides. The centers and most of the fields are bright silver with a gentle layer of old toning, the reverse a bit deeper with a pleasing blue shade dominating that side. Struck during the depths of the Civil War, with only 460 coined in proof. Pop 12; 8 finer at NGC. Value $4,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,640
Lot 1087		1871. PCGS graded Proof - UNC Details, Corrosion Removed. Our grade is Proof-55 Cleaned. (PCGS # 5570) Value $130 - 140 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $300
Lot 1088		1873. No arrows. Closed 3. PCGS graded AU-58. To say the least, chaos errupted in 1873 for our coinage. The year begain in January like any other, with normal dies prepared and shipped to the various branch mints. In Philadelphia, quarter production began as usual in January with coins like this. In late January the Chief Coiner filed a formal complaint with the Director of the Mint that the 3 on the smaller denominations the large knobs could make it appear to be an 8. Hence the engraving department under William Barber had to create an entire new die set with a more open 3. The mintage was again interrupted when in March, 1873, the planchet weight standard changed and Arrows were again added flanking the date of dimes, quarters, and half dollars. The issue of the Closed 3, No Arrows half dollar has always been one of moderate rarity, with a recorded mintage of 40,000 pieces, but importantly precious few of these come in high grades. The finest yet seen in a nice MS-62. A nice white coin. Only 40,000 struck. Pop 2; 5 finer, 3 in 61, 2 in 62. (PCGS # 5484) Value $8,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1089		1873. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 62. Light hint of tone. Popular type coin. Only 540 struck (PCGS # 5574) Value $600 - 650 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $660
Lot 1090		1873-CC. Arrows. NGC graded AU-55. This is an incredibily important rarity, and one of the finest seen of this coveted date and mint. Despite what appears to be a rather decent mintage, only 50 or so are known today in all grades. This is one of the finest, and likely within the top 8 or so to survive in all grades. The obverse shows light silver gray huges with a bold strike throughout. For the reverse the toning is a bit deeper and still attractive. Surface quality is quite high, with minimal signs of handling or circulation from such a brief time in the channels of commerce. For identification there is a trivial diagonal nick which crosses two of the vertical shield lines on the reverse. A coin of formidable rarity and desirability, and destined to be a major highlight of any advanced collection lucky enough to secure it. Well struck with light even toning on both sides. Very rare in high grades. Only 12,462 struck. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65. Value $40,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1091		1874. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 66+. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides that shows rich royal blue around the date, more delicate coppery gold and russet through the stars on the obverse. The reverse is well matched with the deeper blue on the upper rim opposite the date area, and lighter gold and russet around the periphery. Amazing quality and eye appeal, and so close to the Superb grade level. Only 850 struck. Pop 18; 8 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5575) Value $5,000 - 5,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1092		1874. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 64. Mostly white with a touch of delicate golden gray over the sulver surfaces. Fairly sharp and pleasing for the satiny frost on the devices, and a classic near gem proof for the collector. Only 850 struck (PCGS # 5575) Value $1,700 - 1,800 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1093		1878-S. PCGS graded MS-64. Scarce date with a mintage of 140,000 pieces, but for some reason most of these disappeared long ago, today it is estimated by CoinFacts that only 300 examples exist. That's far fewer than one would expect given the recorded mintage. Perhaps many were melted and never released? Today we probably won't find out unless there's some record of what became of the majority of the 1878-S quarters. This one is quite attractive, and approaches the gem grade in terms of preservation and eye appeal. A condition rarity near the top of those known, and a downright rare issue today. Well struck and with light toning. Pop 8; 5 finer, 2 in 65, 1 in 65+, 2 in 66. (PCGS # 5510) Value $4,500 - 5,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1094		1889. PCGS graded Proof 67. CAC. PQ. Wonderful rainbow toning on both sides which shows as pastel teal and blue around the rims, fading to golden russet into the fields, then brighter silver on the obverse. The strike is somewhat shallow on the stars. For the reverse the toning is more even, with similar shades to the obverse. All quite alluring and pleasing to the eye. A late issue Proof from the Liberty Seated quarter series, and one that will stand tall in any type set or advanced collection for its stunning quality and eye appeal. Only 711 struck. Pop 5; 10 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5590) Value $4,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,800
Lot 1095		1889. NGC graded MS-65. CAC. PQ. Wonderful rainbow toning on both sides with lighter sunset gold at the rims, fading to deep blue nearer the centers, with a splash of singularly vibrant russet at the center--perfectly matched on both sides of the coin! The eye appeal is simply extraordinary on this magnificent gem. If you want incredible appeal, then look not further than this sparkling mint state gem. Should be regarded. Only 12,000 struck. Housed in an Early Style Holder. Pop 36; 70 finer at NGC. Value $3,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,880
Lot 1096		1890. PCGS graded MS-67. CAC. PQ. Boldly struck and nicely toned with attractive gold and tawny tan hues on both sides. This is a scarce and low mintage date with only 80,000 struck. Here is one of the finer ones to come down to us today, with glittering superb gem surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. Pop 26; 6 finer, 4 in 67+, 2 in 68. (PCGS # 5523) Value $6,500 - 7,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1097		1891. PCGS graded MS-67. A frosty superb gem. The obverse and reverse are mostly bright silver with a dusting of delicate golden hues. The strike is sharp throughout. This is the final year of production for the Liberty Seated quarter, with the newly designed Barber quarter set to be launched at the beginning of 1892. Seldom seen this nice. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Pop 3; 2 finer, 1 in 67+, 1 in 68. (PCGS # 5524) Value $3,000 - 3,200 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1098		1892. PCGS graded Proof 66+. CAC. PQ. Boldly struck with wonderful rainbow toning which spans from vibrant blue in the fields and devices, changing over to russet-gold at the centers, and lighter iridescence closer to the rims. This toning is perfectly matched and balanced on both sides. A coin which offers exceptional eye appeal. The 1892 Barber coinage was launched on the dime, quarter and half dollar, with the obverse dies all of the same design. The reverse of the dime continued the same as seen on the prior Liberty Seated design since 1860. Mint Engraver Charles E Barber used the mirror image of the Morgan design of the silver dollar obverse (1878) for the head of Liberty, and cropped her hair in the back, and placed the balance of her hair beneath a large cap. This coin should be called PR67. Only 1,245 proofs struck. Pop 2; 55 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5678) Value $3,300 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,320
