- 1805 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. CAC. BD-1, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a. Despite the low mintage, the dies for the 1805 quarter eagle were subsequently hard-used, both obverse and reverse. Following the minimal mintage for 1805-dated coins, the obverse die was repunched (despite its hardened state) to strike the 1806/5 quarter eagles. For the reverse die, the 1805 mintage was a mere warm-up. It was then used to strike both 1806 and 1807 quarter eagles, and pressed into further service striking more than 150,000 1807 dimes. Perhaps only 100 to 150 pieces survive of the 1805 quarter eagle mintage. While several About Uncirculated pieces are cited on the population reports, those numbers are likely overstated due to multiple submissions and crossovers. This Choice AU example is outstanding both for its original surfaces and strong eye appeal. Nice mint luster remains beneath orange-gold patina with rose-gold and olive accents. Minimal abrasions are distributed primarily on the reverse, where occasional, light adjustment marks are seen between the clouds and rim. The strike is bold and pleasing. Ex: Eric P.

- 1804 $2 1/2 14 Stars Reverse MS62 NGC. CAC. BD-2, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. The 1804-dated coins of any denomination attract their fair share of attention. Among gold enthusiasts, the 1804 quarter eagle is a noted collector favorite, not only because of its unusual 14 Stars reverse, but because it is also the only "available" variety of this low-mintage date. The 13 Stars BD-1 variant is exceedingly rare and expensive. Adding to the coin's charisma is the dual-denomination use of the reverse die, an unusual circumstance at the early Mint and one that is seen on several dime and quarter eagle dates. In this case, the 14 Stars "cross pattern" or -- as some prefer to call it, the "line"pattern -- couples an obsolete reverse die with both the 1804 BD-2 quarter eagle and the 1804 JR-2 dime. Both denominations are rare issues. This CAC-Approved quarter eagle is notable for its natural, orange-gold patina. Heavily frosted and softly lustrous, the coin displays considerable eye appeal and a bold strike. The present coin is tied for finest-certified with two other coins at NGC. At PCGS, just two coins are certified finer, both MS63 examples (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $70501.18. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1798 $2 1/2 Five Berries AU58+ S NGC. CAC. BD-2, R.5. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a. Alternating tones of gold, with green, orange, and yellow hues, along with superb eye appeal on pristine surfaces give this near-Mint State early quarter eagle the right attributes for NGC's Star designation. The 1798 quarter eagles were the third issue of the denomination in three years, but they were struck to the meager extent of only 1,094 pieces. Both the 1798 Close Date, Four Berries BD-1 and the 1798 Wide Date, Five Berries BD-2, the only known die pairings for the year, are rare regardless of grade. The widely spaced date with the top of the 8 overlying the bottom of the bust truncation is diagnostic for the obverse, and the Five Berries design is sufficient to attribute the reverse. In a measure of Mint economy, this reverse was also used to strike silver dimes dated 1798 (JR-4) and 1800 (JR-1). The Bass-Dannreuther reference rates the 1798 Five Berries BD-2 variety at R.5 as a touch less rare than the Four Berries BD-1 at High R.5, but both are well within the "rare" category. Dannreuther estimates that 45 to 55 examples survive of the Five Berries in all grades, compared to 25 to 30 of the Four Berries type. This particular coin is certified in the seldom-seen (but highly sought after) AU58+ grade at NGC, with the added Star designation, as mentioned. As a further indication of conditional rarity, a search through our Permanent Auction Archives reveals that only five times in the previous 16 years have we offered higher-graded (i.e. Mint State) examples of this variety. This piece's generous eye appeal is further enhanced by a bold strike on a well-centered planchet. Few marks of any significance appear, although there is a small planchet lamination just below Liberty's ear. This eminently collectible early quarter eagle is from the earlier of two known die states, showing no discernible die cracks. NGC population data show this piece to be the only AU58 + (the Star notwithstanding), with six numerically finer (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $70500.00.

- 1796 $2 1/2 Stars AU58 NGC. CAC. BD-3, High R.5. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c. The first-year-of-type 1796 No Stars quarter eagle gets the lion's share of attention for the date and denomination, but the 1796 With Stars quarter eagle is in reality even rarer, grade for grade, than its No Stars counterpart. For years numismatists have believed that the 1796 No Stars was struck to the extent of 963 pieces (including the usually seen BD-2 Normal Arrows reverse and the very rare BD-1 Extended Arrows reverse), along with 432 pieces for the 1796 With Stars, known -- as expected for such a low production figure -- from a single die pair. What is unexpected is how many distinct die states are identified for the 1796 With Stars quarter eagle: John Dannreuther lists five in his reference. The dies apparently cracked early and were lapped, likely more than once, and also clashed together, again possibly multiple times. The U.S. Mint had an extremely difficult time with the early gold coinage dies beginning in 1796, explaining the low mintages overall and likely the small number known of this variety in particular. This near-Mint State NGC-certified example is Die State c, showing die lapping that has weakened the earlier die crack connecting the left-side peripheral stars, but in the process also resulted in some lost detail on the lower hair curls of Liberty. The 1796 With Stars quarter eagle is a one-year type as well, although often unacknowledged as such, showing the only 16 Star Obverse among the early quarter eagles. Mint officials soon realized the folly of continually adding stars after Tennessee was admitted to the Union on June 1, 1796, as the 16th state; coinage dies soon reverted to the 13 Star format, with scattered exceptions. This piece is just a trace of high-point rub away from Mint State. The attractive auburn-gold field colors contrast nicely against the brighter yellow-gold of the raised devices. A small area of planchet adjustment marks appears on the reverse rim, above and behind TAT. A few small field marks appear scattered about, but none are worthy of singular mention. This rare early U.S. gold coin from the first year of quarter eagle production at the U.S. Mint should see abundant collector interest. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

- 1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 NGC. CAC. The dies for John R. Sinnock's design were executed in low relief, creating no end of strike problems for the Mint. On the "plus" side, the brilliant, sun-gold color and intense rolling luster of this example make up for much of the inevitable blending on some of the motifs. A few light Mint handling marks and a shallow planchet defect beneath the second S of STATES do not distract from the glowing appeal of this attractive quarter eagle. Ex: Eric P.

- 1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS66 NGC. This attractively-designed commemorative type is readily available in lower Uncirculated grades (MS60-MS64), but it becomes increasingly scarce any finer. It is extremely scarce at MS66, and just three MS67 representatives have been encapsulated by NGC with none finer; PCGS has not seen any coins rated finer than MS66 (8/14). This shimmering antique-gold Premium Gem example displays splendid eye appeal and a considerable degree of technical merit, with excellent strike definition and outstanding surface preservation among its most noteworthy hallmarks. Any serious collector or dealer specializing in early commemorative coinage, especially gold types, should pay particular attention to this high-end Sesquicentennial quarter eagle. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4993.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
