Lot 1185		1840-O $2.50 Liberty NGC AU55. NGC graded AU-55. Nice even gold toning on both sides with slightly deeper gold hues on the uppermost devices. Only 33,580 struck and from that meager beginning a scant 125 or so are known today. The strike is decent, although the left thigh of the eagle shows moderate striking softness, common to this issue. This is one of the finer examples technically, as most fall into the XF-40 to AU-55 range. Finer pieces quickly become prohibitive for most collectors to pursue, especially in any Mint State grade. Pop 20; 39 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7720) Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,056
Lot 1186		1842-O $2.50 Liberty NGC AU50. NGC graded AU-50. Light even toning on both sides. The 1842-O is one of the tougher New Orleans issues to find at all, especially so in high grade. Furthermore, these usually come poorly stuck up, not so here, as Liberty has most of her hair definition and the eagle's thigh is sharper than most seen. Surface quality is attractive with minor scattered nicks from circulation. Only 19,800 struck, and today there are just over 100 known. Pop 12; 71 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7726) Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,298
Lot 1187		1899 $2.50 Liberty PCGS MS65. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Housed in a First Generation Holder. Lovely light golden toning and a satiny jewel that will always dazzle any numismatist whenever it is viewed. Fantastic quality and eye appeal for a Liberty quarter eagle. Pop 74; 33 finer (PCGS # 7851) Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,704
Lot 1188		1902 $2.50 Liberty NGC MS67. NGC graded MS-67 PQ. CAC. Lovely golden toning which is primarily greenish gold with bold mint frost throughout. Needs to be regraded in a northerly direction which it clearly deserves. Pop 57; 12 finer, 4 in 67 Star, 1 in 67+, 7 in 68 (PCGS # 7854) Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1189		1907 $2.50 Liberty PCGS MS62. PCGS graded MS-62. A hint of tone (PCGS # 7859) Estimated Value $290 - 300 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $400
