Tied for second HIGHEST graded in the PL designation. Indeed were it not for a couple of very tiny marks that are exaggerated by the fragile nature of the frosty-finished devices and polished reflection of the fields, we have no doubt it would be a contender for CAC approval. We like the look of this well struck beauty quite a bit! While the mintage was low, only 228,000 were struck, large quantities were saved at the time of issue in treasury vaults. Until the 1930s, the 85-CC was a major rarity, but slowly some were released through dealers such as John Zug. In 1955, several bags came out of other Treasury vaults, and again a few probably came out in 1962-64, before a large number (cited as 148,285 total that were sold by the GSA from 1972-74 and again in 1980. That these were not melted and lost to the melting pots in 1918 is a wonder and a joy for collectors today, especially when they have the OUTSTANDING eye appeal as this one! PCGS 7, NGC 2. Neither NGC coin has sold in auction, and no NGC MS66 PL has sold in nearly five years, that coin brought $2,115 in August 2014. More recently an NGC MS67 PL sold for $8,813 in April 2017. A PCGS MS66+ PL sold in April 2016 for $3,760 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,500. A beauty that is full of flash and luster that will delight the collector. Good luck.

Not only is this coin a stunning deep cameo, but it is an interesting and perhaps UNIQUE error as well. Ultra deep, brilliant, and fully reflective mirrors are icy, sleek and clean. Offering the utmost quality of clarity, the fields appear as a deep, black sea surrounding frosty, well struck devices. Every detail is sharply rendered by an exacting blow of the dies, save for one area at the bottom of the shield and eagle’s legs. Looking at the texture of this area, with some striations and lacking any evidence of tooling, we believe that some sort of dirt and grease filled that area of the die, struck this coin, then fell out. Of the recent sales of Proof 1892 quarter eagles, we are hard pressed to find another, and perhaps after striking this coin the grease was discovered and removed from the die, before coinage resumed. This mint made “flaw” does not have a huge impact at all on the great visual allure, especially to the naked eye, and indeed adds some character to this otherwise PRISTINE GEM example. All told, of the original mintage of 105 pieces, perhaps 45-55 survive, all struck from a single set of dies.

PCGS# 7939 • ESTIMATE: $3,500+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.

LOT 321 $2.50 1911-D STRONG D. PCGS MS65 CAC With a mintage of only 55,600 the 11-D quarter eagle is the undisputed KEY to the Indian Head series. In constant demand from collectors from problematic, circulated pieces to PREMIUM GEM examples such as the one offered here. One of the ten finest endorsed by CAC, there is just a single CAC approved MS66 finer. Totally original in every way, and incredibly RARE as such! Wonderful, indeed truly sensational satiny lustrous and awesome, smooth surfaces are nearly unimprovable. The surfaces do not even have the lightest frost break and there are serious traces of contact of any kind to be found anywhere. There is one small scuff in front of the nose on the obverse. The luster is strong and really glows from all over. Both sides are an even deeper ORIGINAL yellow gold color. All of the details are frosty and have bold strikes. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 23, NGC 78, CAC 9. This incredible PCGS/CAC example is cleaner than the NGC MS65 CAC that we sold for $79,313 in July 2018. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $72,600. Less than a handful have ever graded finer at PCGS, the most recent PCGS MS66 to sell in auction brought $176,250 in April 2013. This fully struck, totally original, GEM is exceptionally high end and will see very strong bidding when it crosses the block. PCGS# 7943 • ESTIMATE: $55,000+ 125

LOT 322 $3 1868 NGC AU53 A very pleasing AU example. Attractive medium yellow gold with a small area of darker tone at the lower left reverse. Surfaces are relatively smooth with considerable semi-reflective luster for the grade. Only 4,850 were struck for circulation, a modest mintage for this intriguing and popular denomination. PCGS 31, NGC 36. Do not let the population figures fool you, this grade is very difficult to acquire, the last NGC-AU53 sold in auction back in June 2015 for $1,410.

AWESOME, velvety, billowing mint luster radiates all over with an intensity rarely seen on this series. The lustrous surfaces are aglow with an eye arresting brilliance. The devices are sharply struck and the surfaces are essentially without flaw. While a strong glass reveals a couple of insignificant ticks, this impressive SUPERB GEM boasts an eye appeal that is among the best we have seen for the entire type! PCGS 4, NGC 0. An example sold nearly three years ago for $60,000 and another sold for $70,500 in the 2016 ANA auction.

It is just shy of a full MS65 ranking. PCGS really showed it little mercy! Deep prooflike mirrors beam boldly from all over, and the outstanding surfaces resemble a full Proof. Add a strong luster and wow-this coin has serious life!† Overall, the surfaces appear clean; remarkably, there is nothing more than a microscopic tick or two, and visible only when using a strong glass. Both sides are a gorgeous and totally original deep yellow gold color with faint greenish gold highlights. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted an have full strikes, with a full 3D look. The eye appeal is awesome! ONLY 900 were ever minted! PCGS 23, NGC 11, CAC 4. This is the ONLY 64+ graded at either service. We strongly believe all the prices guides are wrong for this date in PCGS/ CAC MS64 and higher. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $20,000 and that is based on the $20,563 that this coin brought in our May 2019 Regency Auction. Keep in mind just seven are graded finer at PCGS, the last one of which sold back in 2012! That is RARE! PCGS# 8005 • ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 128

Honey orange surfaces have a hint of soft luster that clings to the devices. Sharply struck up, the devices are of pleasing quality. Light contact and minor friction are accounted for in the grade. The eye appeal is decent and this is a very popular early gold type. PCGS 50, NGC 34. The last one to sell brought $6,900 in June 2020, but prior to that, one sold in December 2019 for $8,700. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,500. Always popular among type collectors, the 1806 is a great date to represent the Capped Bust Right design type, and in demand as such.

Sharply struck and possessing brilliant yellow gold surfaces, this is a rather pleasing Mint State piece. Ample luster has a slight glossy texture. Some minor cabinet friction is seen and a few very minor traces of contact account for the assigned grade. Bright golden surfaces are pleasing to the eye and there is no wear. PCGS 76, NGC 36. It has been nearly three years since the last NGC-graded example sold, selling for $15,000 in the 2018 FUN auction. Prior to that, one sold in the 2016 ANA auction fro $15,275.

This easily identified die marriage is the most “common” and pairs 1806 obverse 1 (stars 1 and 2 are nearly touching at two points) with 1805 reverse B, with the right base of the Ts broken off. A decent AU55, this example has a warm orange and green hue over the golden surfaces. Tinges of original luster bloom in the protected areas. With a strong glass we note some minor hits and some wispy lines. The strike is a touch weak in the centers while being quite sharp at the peripheries. Housed in an old green tag holder. PCGS 10, NGC 8. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $12,000. There is a wide range of APRs for PCGS-graded AU55s with the two most recent examples bringing $6,600 and $8,400.

LOT 329 $5 1810 LARGE DATE. LARGE 5. PCGS AU58 CAC The reported mintage of 100,287 was produced using four distinct die marriages, each representing separate listings in the Red Book. The Large Date, Large 5 is BD-4, which rated as an R-2, is the most “common.” This pleasing honey-orange golden toned CHOICE AU 1810 half eagle, is a great representative for the John Reich designed type. The central obverse devices are crisply struck, though the eagle and some of the peripheral obverse details are slightly blunt. Only the lightest of friction from a very brief stay in commercial channels can be seen with the aid of a glass, as are some very minor adjustment marks, which are limited to the far left obverse rim. The eye appeal is quite nice overall. PCGS 36, NGC 45, CAC 12. NO CAC-approved AU58 graded by either PCGS or NGC has ever sold in auction. The most recent PCGS-graded example brought $9,300 in April 2018. The PCGS Price Guide value is $11,000 and the CAC CPG value is $12,100.

LOT 351 $20 1898-S PCGS MS65 CAC This is a seriously underrated and conditionally RARE date. Despite a large mintage of over 2.5 million, very few were saved at the time of issue, and most that survive in Mint State came from European holdings that were repatriated in recent decades. While common in Mint State grades up to MS64, these are conditionally RARE in MS65, exceedingly so any finer. A vivid, lustrous brilliance booms on both sides accents truly original surfaces. Rolling cartwheel luster brings out the attractive orange and yellow gold coloration. The devices are sharply struck and frosty and the eye appeal is great, housed in an older blue label holder. Premium Quality as denoted by the CAC bean. PCGS 121, NGC 105, CAC 16.

LOT 358 $20 1915-S PCGS MS66+ CAC This is by far one of the nicest MS 1915-S Saints we have ever seen! No question this coin is closer to MS67 than MS66!

Only when using a strong glass can you find some microscopic ticks widely scattered around in tiny groups. For a 15-S the surfaces are seriously above average in terms of BOTH cleanliness and texture they are a slight satiny texture. We actually grade the reverse a full MS67! This is NOT a “dirty” or rugged looking coin. The luster is strong and glows from all over. Both sides are an even deeper gold color. There are NO stains or discolorations.

LOT 366 $10 1860 CLARK GRUBER. PCGS XF40 Historic and incredibly important, the Pikes Peak design on these 1860 Clark Gruber eagles are among the most popular of Territorial or “Pioneer” gold coins. Though gold deposits in Jefferson Territory (now Colorado) were discovered as early as 1835, the Colorado gold rush hit its peak in 1859 to 1860. Issued by Clark, Gruber, and Co, a Denver based bank and private mint, the firm was among the most honest of the era, both in their financial and assay/minting business. Because they alloyed customers’ gold deposits with silver, the face values equaled that of the Federal coinage, but the weights were actually heavier. Clearly the public put its trust in the Clark Gruber firm, as most of these show considerable circulation. The 1860 eagle and double eagle sport a fanciful view of Pikes Peak, the famed mountain jewel of the Rockies. The dies were produced by an engraver who had not seen the mountain, and its triangular shape makes it quite charming for collectors today. The present XF, graded ages ago, and housed in an old green tag holder has been off the market for quite some time. All Clark Gruber $10s are listed as Kagin-3, which is considered to be Rarity-5. The coin offered here is a late die state, which shows a dramatic die crack from D in GOLD through the right base of Pikes Peak, to the rim to the right of D (this crack is not described in the Kagin book, but is the same as lot 606 in ANR’s September 2003 auction sale). Rich green-gold color with tinges of tangerine hues cover both sides. Well struck and showing its distinctive details boldly, including the scruff of bushes and trees at the base of of the mountain, this coin has the appearance of an even higher grade. We think that back when this coin was graded, it was “net” graded for some microscopic planchet flaws, as made. A few wispy marks are noted with a glass, evidence of its time in frontier commerce, none of which are distracting to the eye. Indeed, this coin has an exceptional visual allure that is truly a delight to behold! PCGS 15, NGC 4. While there are a number of examples in AU grades, many of those have been dipped, stripped, cleaned, conserved, or have been otherwise processed in a way to bring out the luster, and destroy the originality. This piece is a very happy exception to that rule. The last PCGS-graded example has a similar look overall, and sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $19,975. Prior to that, no XF40 has sold since the above mentioned ANR example. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $24,500. The only other Clark Gruber $10 we offered was the PCGS MS62 from the Phil Flannagan Collection we sold in December 2013 for a near record $97,750 on an estimate of $65,000+. We suspect that this lovely XF40 will likewise see strong bidding that brings it above our estimate range. A great type coin for anyone working on a type set of Territorial gold coins. Good luck.
