Lot 583		1806 Br-2, Rarity 2. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck for an early Draped Bust quarter and an issue which is rarely found in grades even approaching the gem level. The obverse and reverse have a pleasing light sliver-gray hue and are nicely toned. The surfaces are quite stunning, with nary a nick or mark to be found, and the strike is fairly sharp. This is the later die state for this die pairing, with considerable rim crumbling along the tops of the legends, and a bisecting die crack through the final A of AMERICA to the O in OF. A tough type coin to find this well preserved! Don't miss out. Pop 10; 5 finer, 2 in 64+, 3 in 65.

Lot 584		1828. B-1, Rarity 1. PCGS graded AU-50. Golden toning on semi reflective fields. The devices are well struck and the surfaces of the devices and fields are quite smooth and attractive.

Lot 585		1836. B-2, Rarity 2. PCGS graded AU-55. Nice blue and golden toning with russet accents deepening to blue around the devices. Sharply struck throughout, with minimal surface marks from brief circulation. Interesting light die cracks bisect the obverse vertically and a similar crack on the reverse. Scarce this nice for the date and variety, this one is highly appealing and worth a solid bid. Housed in a PCGS 30th Anniversary Green Holder. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 58+, 1 in 64. (PCGS # 39006) Estimated Value $500 - 550 Ex Marx Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $780

Lot 587		1853. Arrows and rays. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with nice even toning on both sides with several tiny bright flecks shining through with the original frosty surface. A prize for the collector who demands high quality and bold visual appeal, as not many have retained the gem grade level. An important type coin with the Arrows and Rays to announce the decreased silver content in the planchet as needed and authorized in that year. A popular type coin. Pop 20; 16 finer, 4 in 65+, 9 in 66, 3 in 67. (PCGS # 5426) Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 588		1857. NGC graded MS-67. Light rainbow and russet toning around the edges of both sides with the centers bright white and frosty. Boldly struck on all the devices and stars.

Lot 591		1873. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 65.

(PCGS # 5574) Estimated Value $3,900 - 4,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

(PCGS # 5510) Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 595		1893-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely light rainbow toning on both sides with greenish lemon iridescence through the stars and legends, the reverse matching and elegant in appearance. The devices are all boldly struck, and as usual the Mintmark from San Francisco is way off to the right under the eagle's tail as always seen this particular year. A key issue from this first year of the Barber coinage that never goes out of style. Pop 10; 8 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5606) Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 596		1896-S. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and fully white with abundant mint frost on the devices and the fields show some reflectivity. The surfaces show a few trivial bagmarks from handling, and there are light signs of clashing within Liberty's ear from the reverse horizontal shield lines. A key date that is rarely found at all, especially so in high grades like this, as a mere 188,039 pieces were struck for the entire year. Popular key date, and this is one of the big three of the Barber quarter series--the 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S. An exceptional coin and worthy of a strong bid. Pop 12; 13 finer, 7 in 65, 3 in 65+, 3 in 66. (PCGS # 5615) Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 600		1913-D. NGC graded MS-67. A hint of light tone that offers classic elegance with delicate golden gray on the obverse, the reverse with a touch of lemon and rose gold. The coins from the Eliasberg Collection were first purchased by J.M. Clapp until his death in 1906, then continued by his son John H Clapp, both who bought many directly from the Mints as they were issued, such as this lovely 1913 Denver Quarter dollar. They were known for demanding quality and the Mints did their best to serve them the absolutely finest coins produced each year. In 1942 the New York numismatic firm of Stack's brokered the entire Clapp Collection to Louis Eliasberg for what seemed an inconceivable sum, and some 55 years later the silver and copper coins cons brought unbelievable prices, as did the gold coins, even though the gold coins were sold in 1982 years earlier. Pop 2; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000 Ex Eliasberg Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 603		1916. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. Well struck and untoned with vibrant original luster on both sides. Popular key date. Only 52,000 struck for this first year of issue, and these slipped into circulation generally unnoticed, hence the tiny numbers that survive in gem or finer grades. This elegant design was created by famed sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil. Liberty is depicted as walking directly toward the viewer, coming through a garden gate with walls surrounding. She holds an olive branch in her right hand, and her shield in her left. Her right breast is exposed as her drapery is extended by her hand holding the olive branch. This artistic revelation was just too much for some members of the public and Congress, who soon demanded that she be fully clothed. In late 1917 the design was changed to keep certain members of the public appeased. Times never change. Pop 85; 35 finer at PCGS for MSFH. (PCGS # 5705) Estimated Value $27,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 604		1916. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Lovely gold toning on both sides. Popular key date with a modest mintage of 52,000 pieces, most of which entered circulation unnoticed and without any fanfare. Most people and collectors thought these were first issued in 1917 when the initial batches were given out to banks, but inside some of the bags were these soon to be rare and sought after 1916 Standing Liberty Quarters. This one offers a bold strike with a full head on Liberty and all the bosses or rivets in the shield, and glorious mint luster throughout. The toning is deeper russet with touches of blue and green around the rims, particularly on the reverse. An elegant example of this sought after key date! (PCGS # 5705) Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 605		1916. NGC graded AU-58. Evenly toned with classic deep russet around the rims, lighter golden gray to the centers over luster. This is the popular key date with a tiny mintage of only 52,000 pieces late in 1916. These were somewhat of surprise to collectors, as production was supposed to begin in 1917, and when the 1917 quarters were released, these 1916 quarters were found inside the bags. Thus few were saved most entered circulation unnoticed. Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 606		1917-S. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Head. PQ. Lovely golden russet toning. The strike is bold on all the shield bosses or rivets, and the surfaces are satin smooth and handsome.
