Lot 396		Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1806, 6 over 5. Fine-12. A very pleasing coin for the grade as it exhibits wear evenly distributed on both sides and is bascially free from any marks or problems. The usual weakness appears about the rims on both sides and the surfaces are nice and clean throughout. All is enhanced by the attractive light cabinet toning that is present on both sides. Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $546
Lot 397		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1818, 8 over 5, B-1, R-2. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. Majestic blue peripheral toning on this mint state coin, with the centers bright and untoned on each side. Well struck by the dies and with minimal handling marks. The overdate feature is faint as always, but the upright of the 5 can be seen on the left side of the second 8. PCGS has graded 14 this high, with 4 as MS-65 above and 2 at the very top as MS-66 (PCGS # 5323) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 7,000.

Lot 398		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1819. Large 9, Specimen strike. B-2. Specimen 64. Mirror fields and a very bold strike combine to convince us that this coin was made as a specimen for the year. The usual die cracks through the stars. Silvery gray in color and very well preserved as well, with abundant eye appeal. A great rarity as a specimen strike, as all such early proofs were struck in extremely tiny numbers. Estimated Value $6,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 399		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1821. B-3, R-2. PCGS graded MS-65. A flashy gem example of this scarce early Capped Bust quarter. The fields are satiny and show very few signs of handling, expected for a gem grade. We note one minor tick on Liberty's cheek. Boldly struck on the stars, curls and feathers. Mostly white save for some faint gold streaks on both sides, and highly appealing. In an old green insert PCGS holder. We note in the current PCGS Population Report that only 4 have been graded this high of the date, with 4 graded above as MS-66 and a single coin at the top as MS-67 (PCGS # 5331) . Estimated Value $9,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $12,075
Lot 400		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1821. NGC graded MS-65. Deep gunmetal blue gray in color, with minimal signs of handling, keeping this rare early quarter solidly in the gem class. Slightly prooflike fields, as usual. An important type coin. Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $9,373
Lot 401		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1825, 5 over 3 or 4. Proof 64. Fiery mint glow on both sides greets the eye as this coin is examined. The surfaces are alive with a sunset reddish color, and the mirror fields are complete including between the tiny shield stripes. Boldly impressed by the dies and very choice as well. An exciting coin to view, and no doubt own as well. Estimated Value $17,500-UP. Ex Jerome Kern Sale by B. Max Mehl. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 402		Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 1825, 5 over 3 or 4, B-2, R-3. PCGS graded MS-65 Premium Quality. Glowing mint frost on the devices and slightly reflective in the fields, and all is toned with an alluring gold tone on both sides. Simply outstanding quality for the date and type, with very few Capped Bust quarters that qualify as full gems known. PCGS in their Population Report note only 3 graded as such of this variety, with 3 higher as MS-66 and a single coin as MS-67 (PCGS # 5336) . Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
