What an unbelievable G-dollar...it's crazy to realise that this coin still has some value. What that is, I couldn't guess, but I assume it was too much. Maybe some day the eagle will show up on a necklace and you can pay too much for it too !
Doesn't fit into my core and I normally don't pay much for toning. I am not as far gone and Ricko and not as far gone as (no names) one who pays huge premiums for a colorful toned 2008 ASE. At the price I couldn't pass it up, it is well
Somehow I have vague memory of seeing the eagle that may have come from this piece somewhere.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Here is one in the opposite direction. The bottom seems to have dropped out of the 1808 quarter eagle market since I bought this one. Not that the "bottom" makes it an economy priced coin, but this is the #2 coin among the early type pieces just behind the 1796 No Stars Quarter eagle.
An example in an MS-61 just sold at the latest Stacks-Bowers action for less than I paid for this one, which is graded AU-50. But the MS-61 did have a noticable mark on the obverse that is distracting.

Here's one of mine ... PCGS PR66BN. PCGS Guide price is $3,000 ... I paid close to $4,300 with juice (about a 1.4x toning premium) ... but I didn't care.
Being a four year old thread, I'm wondering how really buried some of these buyers are today. By the looks of the quality, I'm thinking most will do well in the end.

Do you still have pics of our Neon Yellow and Green PCGS MS Liberty Nickel?
I should very much like to see her again...it's been at least 5 years...
That coin could definitely run with the crowd shown here, IMO.

Not easy to image but I did the best I could
What did you pay for this amazing looking dime?
