I hope the 1804 Dollar, the 1854-S and the 1822 half eagle are in there as well.
The D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part VI
March 18-20, 2020
1875-S Liberty Head Double Eagle.
MS-67 (PCGS) CAC.
The Finest Known Type II Liberty Head Double Eagle in Existence
The sixth installment of the incomparable D. Brent Pogue Collection will be held March 18-20, 2020 in Baltimore, Maryland in conjunction with our official auction of the Whitman Coin & Collectibles Expo. The collection was started in the 1970s by the Pogue family and was enjoyed by them for decades. Their primary focus was early federal coinage from 1792 to 1839, but the collection was expanded to include several later areas. As before, each item was purchased with an emphasis on finest known examples that offer extraordinary eye appeal. One of many examples is showcased here.
If you are planning on attending the FUN show in just a few weeks, stop by tables 321, 323, 420 and 422 to view a handful of selected highlights.
More news will be posted as available on our website.
In the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us at Stack’s Bowers Galleries. May 2020 be happy, healthy, and prosperous for you and your family.

This is very exciting and sad at the same time as it's the first sale since his passing, RIP. I'm looking forward to see the other coins that are being offered.
Does anyone know who is managing the collection now?
1875-S Liberty Head Double Eagle MS67 PCGS CAC - Ex-@oreville
This coin is graded both PCGS MS67 and NGC MS67. It was in a PCGS holder at least since 2009 and is still in the NGC Census. The next highest graded coin at PCGS is MS64+ and at NGC is MS64. This is CAC approved at the green level using the old PCGS cert number: 4240924, but not the new one shown in the TrueView below yet.
@oreville sold this coin for $575,000 back in 2009 and, this past May, estimated its value at over $700K. Here's the original thread on this coin:

JK said it best - "Now that's a Pogue coin!".
Looking forward to seeing the highlights at FUN - thanks for the heads up.
Wow... Now that is one golden beauty..... Cheers, RickO
Beautiful coins in a price range that is a bit out of reach. OK, may a bit more than a bit.
it will be interesting to see if the $1 1804 and $5 1822 will be put up again for sale. I am also interested in seeing the 1841 and 1854-S quarter eagles.
Neither the 1854 s , the 1804 dollar
Or the 1822 will be sold in Baltimore
Wait for Pogue Vll or Vlll
The central portion of the obverse seems weakly struck. Yeah, it's a half million dollar coin or whatever, because 19th c. gold never comes with such pristine, mark-free surfaces. Still, the crappy strike bothers me.
I hope Hansen is prepared to bid aggressively and not pass on irreplaceable coins like these as he has on others in the past.
Any guesses on where the 1875-S will end up price wise? Are you hoping any other collectors will try for this piece? I have to imagine Legend will be representing some collector(s) for this gem.
Of note, for the Registry Set "COMPLETE $20 GOLD DATE SET, CIRCULATION STRIKES (1850-1932)", Hansen is currently in first and second place:

Brent collected a much wider range of coins than most people realize. He truly loved coins; it didn't matter if it was an 1804 dollar or a beautifully toned Washington quarter...
The coin is perfectly well struck. There’s just not as much hair detail on the T2 obverse design as there is on the T3.

Yes, looks brilliantly struck. Amazing coin.
Are his toned Washington quarters associated with his provenance and sold in his headline auctions? I haven't heard of them yet.
That double eagle!
My YouTube Channel
Still looks like a 68 to me....
Brent has a complete collection of
Barber quarters , 01s in ms 67 and I believe a complete collection of silver Washington quarters , a 32s in MS 66, a gem 78s and a 21 s half dollar .
Wish he had World Coins
Latin American Collection
Do you have any thoughts on what might be holding it back for the graders?
Hopefully these will come to auction. I haven't seen his Barber or Washington quarters yet, but would love to.
My non expert opinion $425,000.
Well, if I had to pick just one 75-S $20...

That looks beautiful! Someone should build a grading set
Pffft. Go nitpick all the 67’s of other dates and you’ll see that this one is a full grade better
But what about that crappy strike? Ewwwwww ......crappy.....glad they didn't say TINNY !!
Or a great pattern …
Question for all. I heard they held many of the earlier collected coins raw. Those purchased in a holder were cracked out. Of course later regraded before the auctions. True?
My 1866 Philly Mint Set
Brents Barber and Washington quarters just came into Stacks pocession and were described to me as Hellacious. Which means quality to drool over.
Saw some of his coins at FUN. Rolled edge and wire edge 1907 were the finest I have seen.
His two high reliefs, 67+ and 68+ were incredible. And his Flowing hair Stella graded 66 cameo
looked totally original. All his coins have the D Brent Pogue grade inserts.
Glad to hear it. Can’t wait to see them!
Did Pogue collect any patterns?
To answer a couple of questions with regard to Mr. Pogue’s collection.
1) He owned a small, but amazing group of about 10 or US Patterns.
2). He did owned just a few World coins- all
are rare and have extraordinary eye appeal
3) Prior to the very first sale, 98% of the collection had been certified years before. Perhaps 10 coins had not been certified.
When the collection was originally sold over 5 sales (2014-16) every coin had been regraded by PCGS.
4) In upcoming Pogue Sale in Baltimore the coins being offered out from his type set of US coins post 1839. Although he wasn’t able to complete the set, he was actively working on it when he unfortunately , passed away.
His paper money collection is off the charts as far as quality and rarity.
There are certainly larger valued Paper Collections, , however Mr Pogue’s Currency
collection is the finest quality collection
in existence. It’s anticipated it will bring 8-10 million. If you are only interested in coins, and are going to Baltimore, it will be well worth your time while to check
out the bank notes. Why? because numerous of his notes probably will not reappear for sale again for decades.
