Quarter Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 641		1804 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. Sharpness of EF-45. Mostly well struck with lots of detail for the grade. We note a light scratch in the left obverse field. This high grade example was cleaned and retoned years ago. Long recognized as one of the rareties in the quarter series, in fact, this date which has a similar mintage to the 1796 is much rarer as fewer were saved as survivors. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,050
Lot 642		1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. Browning-5a. Rarity-6. PCGS graded MS-63. An old friend from 1987, when we sold it (as Superior Galleries) as part of the Cal Neva Club collection: "…Perfect obverse die; reverse crack from the left wing to the rim…This is one of the finest Draped Bust Heraldic Eagle Quarters we have handled in many years. While this coin has many factors in its favor, what immediately comes to mind is its strictly original appearance. Both sides are lustrous and exhibit rich, reddish gold undertones below even rose gray surfaces. The obverse is well struck while the central reverse is, as always, weak. This lovely coin has virginal surfaces and we feel that the grade, which PCGS has assigned it, was somewhat on the conservative side. Besides being an exceptional type coin, this is a very rare variety in this grade and we regard this coin as a candidate for one of the Finest Known. Discovered in Europe a few years ago." Still housed in the first-generation, green-label holder in which it originally appeared! Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000. Superior Galleries " Club Cal Neva Sale", September 20-22, 1987, Lot 1672.

Lot 643		1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. 6 over 5. PCGS graded VF-20. Nice original antique toning (PCGS # 5315) . Estimated Value $675 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $920
Lot 644		1807 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. Fine-15. Light scratches on both sides, well concealed by the antique grey toning. Estimated Value $180 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 645		1825 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 5 over 4. Browning-3, Rarity 3. NGC graded MS-64. A gorgeous, Prooflike example that in former years would have been called a Proof (in fact, Breen mentions an untraced Proof of this particular variety). The fields are fully reflective, with no patches of satiny luster and the toning is a scrumptious blend of greens, reds and golds. The strike is also excellent, but not quite up to the standards required of a Proof. Struck from an early state of the dies, leaving no question that this was an 1825/4 overdate. This piece compares favorably, and is decidedly more Prooflike, than the NGC MS-65 Eliasberg coin. Housed in an old NGC holder and worth a second look. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details	Realized $5,463
Lot 646		1825 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 5 over 3 or 4. PCGS graded EF-45. A well struck problem-free example with lovely mottled blue toning on both sides. Pop of 14 (PCGS # 5336) . Estimated Value $700 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,840
Lot 647		1831 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Large letters. PCGS graded AU-58. Well struck with light golden toning. Enough mint luster is present as to be suggestive of a full Mint State grade (PCGS # 5349) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
Lot 648		1835 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. MS-60 Prooflike. Very well struck, except star 5, with attractive silvery semi-prooflike surfaces on both sides. Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details	Realized $633
Lot 649		1838 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. B-1. ANACS graded MS-64 Prooflike. Quite well struck with full detail throughout. The semi reflective surfaces are overlaid with lovely toning; light golden in the centers deepening to electric blue at the borders. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,613
Lot 650		1838 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. No drapery. PCGS graded MS-64. Desirable first-year-of-issue for the lengthy Seated Liberty series. Scarce, "No Drapery" type, not the result of excessive die polishing but because of a deliberate omission of the drapery beneath the elbow of Liberty's arm that holds the staff (drapery was added later to balance the artistic effect of the design). Wholesome, original toning consists of dusky grays changing to steel-blue iridescence at the rims, with some golden highlights noted on the reverse. Sharply struck in the centers, but weak on some of the stars and denticles. Overall, this is a remarkable coin for the date and certainly for the grade. Housed in an old, green-label PCGS holder, generally perceived as coming from a time of more conservative grading standards. PCGS reports 21 in this grade, 2 in MS-65, 2 in MS-66, 1 in MS-68, so a resubmission may turn out to be a worthwhile effort (PCGS # 5391) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $12,075
Lot 651		1841-O Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Double die obverse. NGC graded MS-61 FS-001. Original antique toning on both sides. Pop of 2 for this variety with 1 in MS-62 and 1 in MS-63. Probably worth far more than our conservative estimate. Estimated Value $500 - 700. View details	Realized $719
Lot 652		1853 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows and rays. NGC graded MS-63. Lightly toned in gold on the obverse, with a patch of blue at upper left. The reverse is very colorful, combining reds and blues at the peripheries, surrounding a center of gold. The arrowheads on either side of the date and the sunny rays on the reverse were signals that the weight had been reduced to make the production of the coins more cost-effective and, hopefully, profitable. A popular type coin that is always in demand. Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,500. View details	Realized $2,760
Lot 653		1853 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows and rays. PCGS graded MS-62. Bold and untoned. Pop of 58 in this grade (PCGS # 5426) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,265
Lot 654		1853 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows and rays. AU-53. Light marks in the obverse fields takes this out of the strictly Mint State class. Estimated Value $175 - 225. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207
Lot 655		1854 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. NGC graded MS-62. Nice, satiny luster, with lightly toned centers surrounded by speckled lilac and sea-green iridescence. Estimated Value $500 - 550. View details	Realized $834

Lot 657		1861 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Frosty white and untoned. Flatly struck on the stars, but sharp everywhere else. A great looking coin from a time of great conflict in our country. PCGS has graded only 13 coins in higher grades than this, the best being 4 in MS-67 (PCGS # 5454) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 658		1862 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Deeply toned on the obverse in a crisp, olive-blue color. The reverse is brilliant white, with tinges of color near the rims, and some nice cameo contrast between the raised devices and the perfectly flat fields. Housed in an older-generation, green-label holder (PCGS # 5558) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,175
Lot 659		1863 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. MS-63. Well struck with satiny mint luster and a touch of tone about the extreme borders. We note some faint hairlines from light cleaning long ago. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $449
Lot 660		1865 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. PQ. A blush of lilac toning adds to the immense eye appeal of this piece. Housed in a second-generation, green-label PCGS holder and it is so refreshing to see how strict grading standards were in the not so long ago past. We have no problem envisioning this coin in a PR-64 Cameo holder (PCGS # 5561) . Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 661		1873 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. NGC graded MS-64. A nice, dual-colored coin, with a golden toned obverse and rich, steel-blue and lilac toning on the reverse. Nice, swirling luster beneath the toning. Housed in an old NGC holder, hinting at the possibility of an upgrade. NGC reports 28 in this grade, 6 in MS-65, and 1 in MS-66. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700. View details	Realized $1,783
Lot 662		1874-S Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. PCGS graded MS-64. A sharply struck frosty mint example. We note a minor die flaw on the reverse near UQA (PCGS # 5495) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,495
Lot 663		1876 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 60. PQ. Light blue and lilac toning. Housed in a first-generation PCGS holder -- a possible "Cameo" candidate.

Lot 667		1886 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67 Deep Cameo. A dazzling, black-and-white cameo, with heavily frosted devices floating in a sea of watery Proof surfaces. This is how a Deep Cameo Proof is supposed to look! PCGS has graded only 5 Deep Cameo Proofs of this date, with none finer (nor do we ever expect to see a finer one). Watch the fireworks when this coin comes up for sale. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900

Lot 676		1914 Barber Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67. A golden toned head of Liberty floats in a sea of blue-green iridescence. On the reverse, the color is a more uniform blend of pale grey and golden-green toning, every bit as bright as that on the obverse, but with no hint of cameo contrast on the high points. This date is surprisingly difficult to find in high grade -- PCGS reports only 12 in this grade and only 4 finer (all Proof-68) (PCGS # 5700) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.

Lot 678		1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. Super-frosty, with intense cartwheel luster swirling beneath a whisper of lilac toning. This is the key date of the series and the first year of issue. Uncirculated examples are very rare because virtually the entire mintage of only 52,000 entered circulation before the public was even made aware of their existence! Technically (and legally), this type should not even have been introduced until 1917, since Barber's design didn't officially expire until the end of 1916. Much hullabaloo has been made in the past about Liberty's naked torso -- for instance, Breen hyper-ventilated, without any evidence whatsoever, that some "Society for the Suppression of Vice" put political pressure on Mint officials to place a cover-up on Miss Liberty. In reality, the change was made at the request of the designer, Hermon MacNeil, who acknowledged the technical shortcomings of the design and who agreed to the design changes that occurred in 1917. It is these stories that add to the allure of this immensely popular coin. Estimated Value $22,000 - 24,000. View details	Realized $26,450
Lot 679		1916 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-64 Full Head. Here is a classic rarity and in a choice grade, with a full head no less! Mint records show 52,000 were struck, most of which promptly entered circulation. Some were saved as the first of their issue, and the originality of this piece clearly confirms this. Well struck for this issue, about a third of which show a full head, the majority weaker on the head and shield than seen here. This lustrous beauty is toned with a mottling of silvery and darker shades of grey. Always in demand as the rarity of the series, aside from the overdate. Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000. View details	Realized $20,700
Lot 680		1917 Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. Type 1. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Head. Heavy mint frost and a rich satiny luster. Lightly tinted in gold. In an older-generation, green-label holder.
