Lot 1436		1850. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice white coin with just a touch of pale gold near the rims. This is the repunched date variety with the base of the 1 misplaced well south down on the flat rim of the coin. A popular variety with collectors as such. Furthermore, despite a rather generous mintage, the vast majority of this issue was melted in the next few years, as the price of silver jumped up in relation to gold due to the gold discoveries in California in that period. This puts high demand on all 1850 quarters when they come to market, especially true when a Mint State coin like this is available. Pop 3; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 5415) . Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1437		1856. PCGS graded Proof 64. A hint of light gold tone. Only 30 examples have long believed to have been minted, but that number may be too low as roughly double that number appears in the population data of PCGS and NGC. What is known is that these are tough to find today, and while a few more may be been struck than traditionally believed, that does not diminish the desirability of this lovely coin. One other point of interest is noted here, that is the Proof reverse die suffered some sort of injury and was repaired, evidence can be seen both above and below the right wing of the eagle, and all Proof 1856 quarters examined show these unusual heavy die polishing lines. Pop 8; 3 finer in 65. (PCGS # 5552) . Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,994
Lot 1438		1857-S. PCGS graded MS-64. A white coin with mirror surfaces on both sides. Only 82,000 struck and Mint State examples are rarely seen or offered. This one is tied with the finest seen by PCGS of this prized date, and as such is a true specialist's coin. The Large S mintmark is clear, and the strike is bold throughout. An important condition rarity! Pop 4; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5444) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500. Ex Eliasberg. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1439		1859. NGC graded Proof 65. Only 800 minted. The obverse offers rose-gold and blue toning while the reverse is more uniform with deep and lovely blue and purple toning. Scarce at the Gem level and highly desirable for the rich, original toning and depth of the strike. An early Proof like this, struck well before the Motto was aded to the reverse, is always a hard coin to find in Gem! Perfect for the advanced date or type collector.Pop 21; 19 finer .

Lot 1440		1870. PCGS graded Proof 63. Lovely blue and golden toning, particularly rich and deep on the obverse, while the reverse is more framed in rich toning with vibrant white at the center.
