FatMan · December 31, 2007 3:39AM

Sure, I'll play.

Just posted this on another thread, but it's the only 2 1/2 I've got:

Lets try and keep this thread alive...

BECOKA · December 31, 2007 3:52PM

fatman, that is one of my favorites in your collection. I would love to own it someday.

The only quarter eagles I own are Indians. Here are a couple of them. The 25D needs to be re-imaged, for some reason the color on it is difficult to capture.

That looks like a $5 rather than a $2 1/2.

Guess he gets a pass for it being New Years Eve...

Sorry, but the only two I have are holeys, on the Holey Gold Hat. I don't have decent pics of them, but they're in this small "collage" picture.

An 1856-S Liberty and a Classic Head (for which I forget the date; 1834 or '35).

I still don't have any US gold in a denomination larger than $3 for the Holey Gold Hat. Need a $5, at least.

I did a set of San Fran quarter eagles of the 1860s and 1870s. Sold them all a few years ago. This is hardly the rarest or most valuable of the group, but it always had a nice look to me.

from my Capital Gold Type Set:

oldcameoproofsguy · January 1, 2008 1:33AM

Here's a nice little Quarter Eagle.

FatMan · January 1, 2008 2:41AM

Here's another one from Lumpkin County. Sorry for the lousy pic.

AngryTurtle · January 1, 2008 3:08AM

All right Fatman, back at ya on your original piece. Would have been right back at ya if I had a round tuit.

Went fishing caught a low mintage of 6000 Harry W. Bass Jr... sorry no catch-n-release on this one!

planetsteve · May 15, 2008 2:58AM

An AU55 example of a 1914. (Formerly an NGC AU58.)

FilthyBroke · May 15, 2008 4:43AM

Here's one for ya! A 1911 with a strange and nearly transparent 'D' looking marking where the mintmark should be. Any ideas on what caused this? I'm at a loss, myself.

JJM · May 15, 2008 5:15AM

Sorry crappy pics........

meos1 · May 15, 2008 5:34AM

Thats a first! Ive never had a thread resurected.

Mind if I round up to the nearest dollar ?
Thanks to commoncents

100 yrs older than me , but not nearly as fun.

Swampboy · May 15, 2008 9:31AM

Funny. This is the thread that got me looking around at dealer's sites trying to find a $2.50 Indian I liked in my budget.

Found this on the Harlan J Berk website and bought it as an AU50.

Got a quarterly freebie w/Trueview.
PCGS put it in an AU58 holder.
