CoinWorld - An archive tracing the Eckfeldt family's career at the U.S. Mint over two centuries and including a unique gold 1839 medal presented to Adam Eckfeldt upon his retirement from the U.S. Mint, several original presidential appointments and an 1803 Draped Bust gold $10 eagle graded Mint State 61 by Numismatic Guaranty Corp. brought $270,250 and topped bidding at Ira and Larry Goldberg's June 4 to 7 pre-Long Beach auction. As is often seen at the Goldbergs' auctions, large cents counted prominently among the top lots, including three that show the sustained demand for the rarest survivors from the first decades of the U.S. Mint.
I kind of hate this variety. It isn't that rare (about an R4) but it is ridiculously expensive. (and it is one of the last three draped bust varieties I still need,)
