1861 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU55 NGC. K-5, R.4. The P and K of PIKES are recut, while the star above the P is not recut, marking this as the K-5 variety. This variant always appears with strike weakness on Liberty's cheek and above the ear, and correspondingly on the reverse shield. This piece is graded AU55 by NGC based on the luster remaining, which is considerable. There are no singular abrasions, and the surfaces are pretty orange-gold. A nice AU example from this last year of the Colorado Gold Rush. Listed on page 376 of the 2009 Guide Book. (#10139)
All reasonable offers considered. PM me if interested, thanks!
Edited to remove ANACS from first line of description (thanks to my father for pointing my error out), I cracked it out of the ANACS slab and submitted to the coin raw to NGC who graded it AU55.

The images (above) you posted in your BST do nothing for this territorial.
The pics (below) you had in your thread earlier this year when it was still in the ANACS slab are much better to get a feel for what it may look like in hand.

Good luck on the sale as this is a sweet chunk of gold!

<< <i>What is the value range on this piece!! I like it! >>
Heritage Auctions evaluated the coin last week and estimated this coin will hammer with B/P around $6000 - $6500.
2009 Red book p. 376 lists C + G 1861 2 1/2 D AU @ $7,750.
It's difficult to pinpoint a value, not a lot of data on C + G Quarter Eagles, the best I've found is Heritage Auctions sale archives.
I'd like to sell the coin privately and not go through the Heritage Auction time line and process.
