Lot 1260		1796 Browning-2, Rarity 3. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. CAC Approved. Lovely mottled golden-russet and lilac highlights dance together on the surfaces of this partially lustrous specimen. Liberty's curls are fully defined and show just touches of light wear, while the eagle's wing feathers on the reverse are complete. Even a few details from the eagle's eye are visible. Close inspection with a loupe reveals only the most minor surface defects, none of which detract from the substantial eye appeal. As America's first quarter and the only year for which the Small Eagle reverse is seen on this denomination, this is a popular type coin in all grades, especially so at this high level of preservation. Pop 18; 53 finer (PCGS # 5310) . Estimated Value $50,000 - 60,000. Recently discovered in Europe. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $96,938
Lot 1261		1804. Browning 1, Rarity 4. PCGS graded AG Details, Bent. The planchet was bent, thus loss of details in an irregular fashion. Smooth, well worn surfaces, a diagonal scratch bisects the reverse side. One of only 6,738 pieces struck (PCGS # 38921) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.

Lot 1262		1805 Browning 3, Rarity 1. PCGS graded EF-45 PQ. CAC Approved. Attractive light steel-blue toning overlays each side. The strike is about average for this die pairing with some minor weakness at the centers and on the E of LIBERTY. Obvious evidence of die clashing is noted on the upper reverse. No surface issues are reported aside from the usual light ticks common to the assigned grade. Scarce and desirable at XF-45 grade level. Pop 18; 76 finer (PCGS # 38925) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. The Agora Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,760

Lot 1264		1806, 6 over 5. Browning-1, Rarity 2. PCGS graded VF-35. CAC Approved. As might be expected, only one die pairing was used to coin the overdate die variety of the 1806 quarter, Browning-1. The 5 underdigit is bold and readily evident under the 6 without the aid of magnification. An appealing mid-grade survivor, both sides exhibit moderate steel-lilac and blue-green toning with lighter design highpoints. Good definition for the grade (PCGS # 5315) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
