    Gorgeous quarter eagles.

    Of the 5 posted by Eldorado my favorite is the 1899.

    Here is the highest grade piece I have. NGC graded it MS-67. It's a bear to photograph, at least for me.

    That's an official luster bomb. Great color. More and more, I love the little quarter eagles...They are just great coins, particularly when they look like that. Thanks Bill.

    Wouldn't Mr Burns be drooling more for the Double Eagles? Especially that 1933 one?

    All five of these type coins are among the hardest get when you looking to complete the early, pre-1834 gold type set. The early quarter eagles are where "the rubber meets the road." The most common type coin in this group is the 1804.

    Absolutely beautiful Bill....The 1825 in particular w it's PL fields has me in awe. Talk about rare QE's! The early gold.....It's an area of US numismatics that I've never seriously explored.

    Actually, just about every 1825 quarter eagle has P-L fields, which makes it harder to buy them. Every mark is magnified because of that. The mintages were low for all of these coins from the 1820s, and the dies didn't get used enough to wear off the P-L surfaces.

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 ... ?

    It doesn't get much better than Civil War era proof gold, oh yeah, with DCAM! Nicely done buddy! Truly Beautiful piece.

    Not the best looking proof in the world but a proof nonetheless.

    I love this proof! It's pretty enough for me.
    I think the condition is in a sweet spot. Most proofs under PRF-60 have too many abrasions, but in 61 or 62 they can be very attractive coins and affordable. (Affordable, if I give up several other coins)
    Hope to have one like this some day!
