Lot 1405		1807. PCGS graded AU-53. Nice golden toning. This is one of the most challenging type coins to obtain in any grade, especially for a series of coins struck from 1796 through 1807. All the mintages were tiny, with this 1807 the most prolific with a modest 6,812 pieces struck. From that perhaps 250 to 350 examples estimated to have survived by PCGS Pop Report. Pop 22; 75 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7656) Estimate Value $13,000 - 14,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1406		1831. PCGS graded AU-50. Nice even gold toning on both sides. A particularly handsome example of this prized type issue. Bear in mind that virtually the entire mintage was melted during the gold price run up of the early 1830s, this economic event caused any available gold coin in circulation to be gathered up and melted for a profit. Hence only a modest number survive of this isue today. Furthermore, with a mintage of only 4,520, about 110 to 140 examples estimated to have survived by PCGS Pop Report. Pop 5; 55 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7671) Estimate Value $10,000 - 11,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1407		1836. Block 8. PCGS graded AU-50. A hint of light tone (PCGS # 97694) Estimate Value $700 - 750 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $720
Lot 1408		1839-O. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and untoned with flashes of lively luster in the protected areas of the design. The strike is fairly sharp and the surfaces are pleasing for a briefly and gently circulated quarter eagle. Popular for the short lived type coin as well as the famed New Orleans mintmark, placed right above the date. Always in strong collector demand. Only 17,781 struck. Pop 67; 61 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7701) Estimate Value $7,500 - 8,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1409		1840-C. PCGS graded AU Details, Cleaned. Only 12,822 struck. Hairlines and a reverse scratch (PCGS # 7718) Estimate Value $1,000 - 1,100 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,800
Lot 1410		1842-C. NGC graded AU-55. Lightly toned with pleasing golden russet colors. A tough date and mint to find at all, let alone this close to mint state condition. The surfaces are attractive with a few minor nicks and circulation marks that blend well into the coin. Only 6,729 struck. Pop 9; 12 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7724) Estimate Value $5,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1411		1842-D. PCGS graded AU-53. Natural light golden and russet hues are present. Examination will note a few minor nicks and cuts, but these blend well into the fields and devices. An elusive Dahlonega Mint coin, with a small mintage and challenging survival rate. Highly collectible at this attractive grade level. Only 4,643 struck, with under 100 examples estimated to have survived by PCGS Pop Report. Pop 6; 14 finer, 8 in 55, 6 in 58. (PCGS # 7725) Estimate Value $7,000 - 7,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1412		1848-C. NGC graded MS-62. Rich golden toning. Semi reflective obverse fields and with a much better than commonly seen strike. This date is notorious for poor strikes and precious few have any claim to mint condition. This one certainly does, with excellent surfaces, strike and luster. Tied with a small group as one of the finest seen of this issue, and a prize for the astute numismatist. Destined for an advanced Charlotte gold collection. Only 16,788 struck. Pop 5; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. (PCGS # 7750) Estimate Value $13,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1413		1850-C. NGC graded MS-61. Mostly untoned with reflective fields. The surfaces show scatterrd light to moderate handling marks as expected for the modest, yet importantly still mint state, grade assigned. Not many exist that can claim Mint State, and here is one of the nicer ones to come down to us from a scant mintage. Only 9,148 struck. Pop 11; 3 finer, 1 in 62, 2 in 63. (PCGS # 7756) Estimate Value $9,000 - 10,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1414		1852-O. NGC graded MS-61. Light gold toning with reflective fields. The strike is decent but as usually seen not sharp on the eagle's neck or thighs. The fields and devices show minor nicks from handling, but still and all, this is a tough New Orleans quarter eagle to find in mint state. Pop 18; 11 finer, 7 in 62, 4 in 63. (PCGS # 7766) Estimate Value $4,200 - 4,400 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 1416		1855-C. NGC graded AU-58. Rich golden toning on both sides and sharply struck by the dies. The surfaces are pleasing with minimal signs of handling after quite brief circulation. Scarce in all grades, particularly so at the AU58 level or finer. Only 3,677 struck. Pop 15; 16 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7775) Estimate Value $8,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1417		1897. PCGS graded Proof 62 Cameo. Lovely rich golden toning. An important and comparatively affordable proof gold coin. Furthermore this has the added appeal of being a Cameo example, with bold contrast between the fields and devices. A few tiny handling marks are preent, but not enough to deter the eye appeal. Well struck. Only 136 struck. Pop 6; 7 finer at PCGS in PRCA. (PCGS # 87923) Estimate Value $3,000 - 3,300 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,360

Lot 1421		PCGS graded Proof 64. A nice untoned proof coin. This coin was struck with the all mirror style with less frost on the devices, but certainly still quite appealing. The Mint was experimenting at this time, and by 1908 gold proof issues employed the much less shiny matte proof format once the Indian style came out. Heree, the overall surfaces of this 1906 quarter eagle are bright and fresh. Only 160 struck. Pop 25; 70 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7932) Estimate Value $6,000 - 6,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1422		1911-D. NGC graded MS-63. The "D" mintmark is very clear. Key date to this popular series.

Lot 1427		1929. PCGS graded MS-65. PQ. Lovely golden toning on both sides, and boldly struck. This is the final year of the Pratt Indian design, and always in hig.g demand when a gem example like this appears on the market. Has great eye appeal. A challenge to find this nice, and downright rare any finer. Pop 212; 16 finer, 11 in 65+; 4 in 66; 1 in 67.
