I am not aware of the Pogues owning an 1854-S Quarter Eagle. They own the Eliasberg 1854-S Half Eagle, which has not been auctioned since they bought it in 1982! There exist only three 1854-S Half Eagles, while 1854-S Quarter Eagles are not quite as rare.

Rare Gold Coins under $5000 each, Part 9: ‘No Motto’ Liberty Head ($5 Gold) Half Eagles
Gazes: "In the book treasures from the D Brent Pogue rare coin cabinet by Q David Bowers it states that Pogue owns a 1854-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. It is pcgs au-50 and is the finest known "
Although I am sure that this book by QDB is educational and entertaining, I must admit that I have not read it. Before I view coins, I like to know nothing about them. I take a coin out of the box and put my hand over the PCGS label so that I cannot see a grade or a sticker (if there is one).
In such situations, I do not wish to be subliminally biased by the grades assigned by others. So, I do not read auction catalogues before I view the coins in the respective auctions or books about such auctions in advance. Therefore, maybe I posted too hastily to this thread, and I apologize. There must be others who are far more knowledgeable, than I am regarding the precise contents of the remainder of the Pogue Family Collection and the sale schedule.
In any case, I look forward to updating my research on 1854-S quarter eagles. I sense that Gazes is enthusiastic about this coin issue, and I hope that thousands of other numismatists are as well.

Nice articles. Given your comments about the 1854-S in your article it will be interesting to see what the finest known will go for in Pogue V.
And yes--Liberty quarter Eagles fascinate me. So many really rare coins. Many dates do not come better than ms-62. Also branch mints, civil war dates and some small, even tiny mintages. A long run of dates---a challenging collection to put together
