Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
Finest Certified 1866-S Quarter MS66
1866-S 25C MS66 PCGS. Briggs 1-A, the only dies. Although the 1866-S half dollar is common, with a mintage of approximately 1 million pieces, the 1866-S quarter is rare. Only 28,000 pieces were struck, and since there were few if any West Coast numismatists, Uncirculated survivors are very rare. We have studied auction records since 1986, when PCGS began operation, and have located only the following appearances, ranked in order of prices realized:1. MS62 NGC. R.J. Miles, Jr. Collection (Stack's, 4/1969), lot 974; Auction '86 (Stack's, 7/1986), lot 144; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 6415; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 2295, which realized $9,775.
2. MS65 NGC. Pre-Long Beach Sale (Superior, 10/2000), lot 3165, which realized $8,625.
3. MS62 PCGS. Eliasberg; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/1997), lot 7022; Richmond Sale, Part III (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1463; Heritage Internet Auction, 5/2005, lot 11203, which realized $7,278.35.
4. MS64 NGC. Long Beach Bullet (Heritage, 5/1995), lot 170; Boys Town Collection (Bowers and Merena, 3/1998), lot 1038, which realized $6,380.
5. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Empire State Collection (Stack's, 1/1997), lot 549, which realized $5,280.
6. MS64. Hollinbeck Coin Company, 3/1956, lot 1775; Norweb Collection, Part Two (Bowers and Merena, 3/1988), lot 1630, which realized $3,080.
7. MS62 PCGS. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/1999), lot 6372, which realized $2,990. This example has a die crack from the arrows through the final A in AMERICA.
The present piece is housed in a first generation holder, and apparently has not appeared at auction since it was encapsulated. Approximately 20 years after it was first graded, it remains the single finest certified example. It is well struck aside from a few stars, and exhibits booming cartwheel luster. Dashes of russet-brown toning are present near the date and star 8. Clashed within the reverse shield and about the left (facing) wing.
Those in search of identifying marks will not find any, but there is a brief horizontal lintmark that begins beneath the Y in LIBERTY. As the finest certified example, the importance of the present coin to the specialist cannot be overstated. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (4/08).
From The Silbermünzen Collection.(Registry values: P7) (#5469)
