Opening Bid

The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.

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 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 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.

Description
Prized 1806/5 B-1 Overdate Quarter, MS64
Ex: Garrett Collection


1806/5 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Garrett. B-1, R.3. The 1806/5 overdate quarter is one of the prominent, "naked eye" overdates that are so popular with collectors today. It is an easily visible overdate that can be seen without any magnification.
Certain experimentation was undertaken in the engraving and coinage department during 1806. Seldom do overdates of any era originate with dies that were actually used in previous years. Nearly all overdates, especially in the early dies of our coinage, resulted from dies engraved in previous years but unused. It is believed that dies actually used became "work hardened" and brittle, and were unable to be successfully altered in the mint. Such dies remained in use until they wore out, producing backdated coinage that now renders original Mint coinage records almost obsolete.
However, 1806/5 overdates are known for quarters, half dollars, and quarter eagles. In each of these three instances, the previous dies dated 1805 were actually used during the year, then altered by Mint engravers after the beginning of the new year. In the case of the quarter dollar, the obverse and reverse are each from the dies that were previously used to coin the 1805 B-4 quarter.
Graded MS65 in 1980, and certified MS64 today, this beauty has exquisite surfaces and sharp details with lustrous satin surfaces that are graded by warm gray and gold, accented by lilac and iridescent toning. Today, this wonderful near-Gem matches the color plate in the 1980 Garrett catalog. Comments made by Q. David Bowers in that catalog are equally true today: "In today's era of 'dipped' and 'cleaned' issues, such specimens as this from the previous century [now two centuries] with beautiful original toning are to be prized."
Ex: Randall Collection; Garrett Collection; Johns Hopkins University (Bowers and Ruddy, 3/1980), lot 625.
