An 1891 Coronet double eagle graded AU-58 by Professional Coin Grading Service attracted bbidders at the Heritage Auctions' Platinum Night session in May who brought the price to $66,000.

Heritage Auctions' Platinum Night sales August 15 to 20 offer one of the most eye-catching errors among U.S. gold coins and an undated New England shilling for those looking for Colonial issues.

Some top-graded gold rarities set to lead Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ Aug. 16 Rarities Night auction include a market-fresh 1870-CC Coronet eagle and an 1848 Coronet, CAL. gold $2.50 quarter eagle.

The 1849/8 Seated Liberty half dime, FS-101 in the "Cherrypickers’ Guide," is visible without magnification, and one graded PCGS MS-68 from the Bender Family Collection sold for $16,800 on May 3.

The finest PCGS certified 1840 Seated Liberty, No Drapery at Elbow half dime, at MS-68, shows significant die cracks on the obverse and realized $42,000 at Heritage’s May 3 Platinum Night session.

An 1853-O Seated Liberty, No Arrows at Date half dime graded PCGS MS-65+ with a green CAC sticker brought $60,000 to lead Heritage’s May 3 Platinum Night session Bender Family Collection offerings.

Heritage’s Aug. 10 offering of the Harry W. Bass Jr. Core Collection, Part IV, will build on the success of the first three auctions, which have realized nearly $63 million, by offering an array of gold coins.

Capped Bust, Heraldic Eagle gold $2.50 quarter eagles were included in Ira and Larry Goldberg’s June 18 Pre-Long Beach sale with two great examples drawing interest.

As a one-year type with a low mintage, the 1808 Capped Draped Bust $2.50 quarter eagle is a desirable addition to a collection, and an example sold for $174,000 in the Goldbergs' Pre-Long Beach sale.

A top coin in a recent Goldbergs auction was a 1795 Capped Bust, Small Eagle, 13 Leaves Below Eagle $10 eagle graded About Uncirculated 58 by Professional Coin Grading Service that sold for $204,000.
