jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 10:20 pm First one of these I have ever seen. Only $157,500. Gosh, if I only hadn't bought those 6 gem bu 50D Jeffersons this week. Gold Quarter Eagle 1808 NGC MS61 The 1808 Quarter Eagle is a one year type coin and is also one of the rarest U.S. gold type coins. Only 2,710 coins were minted with just a small percentage of this number surviving today. The present piece we are offering is pleasing for the grade and exhibits slightly proof-like surfaces. A true early American numismatic rarity. $157,500 Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 5:18 pm Very nice. I think the photo highlights the scuffs, probably look better in hand, however I think I could stand to spend $150K on other things than this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 6:24 pm Nice looking coin! I wouldn't be ashamed to own it! Just a wee bit out of my league though. I'd rather pay off my house with that kind of money (I think my wife would agree with this assessment too! ). Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 8:11 pm Interesting piece. Appears harshly cleaned, with beaten up fields, weakly struck around the rim on both sides yet sharply detailed relatively unmarked central devices. Now how does that happen?
