1026The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$280.00
1926 PCGS MS-62.
Young Bonnie Lass Collection. Immaculately struck with nice tracing of the finest details in the eagle's feathers. Some trivial copper spots can be seen at the Indian's collar.
1027The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$280.00
1926 PCGS MS-62.
Young Bonnie Lass Collection. Almost astonishing in terms of deeply saturated patina, the copper alloy really brings out strong carrot-gold vibrancy, surrounding the central devices with a lustrous,...
1028The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$280.00
1926 NGC MS-62.
Young Bonnie Lass Collection. It seems unlikely that an Indian quarter-eagle could possibly look nicer at the MS-62 grade. Subtle peppermint-blue patina layers across beautiful matte texture...
1029The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$275.00
1926 NGC MS-62.
Fairly pale surface exudes shimmering matte luster. A tick on the brow forms the most obvious contact point. Discussing a not-so-obvious point, if Wile E. Coyote had enough money gold to buy all...
1030The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$425.00
1926 MS-63.
One ruby-gold copper spot appears just at the Indian's ear, and a couple of smaller but darker ones drop down toward his neck, but these cause no real distraction from overriding MS-63 quality. ...
945The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$975.00
Three 1926.
One appears to grade MS-62, and a second has an identical appearance except for a couple of small greyish patches on the high points that may conceal slight friction. The third could well end up...
946The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$280.00
1926 NGC MS-61.
Noticeably abraded yet still perfectly tinted in straw-gold. There are no distracting copper spots, nor sun spots, nor age spots, nor liver spots. Lucky you.
947The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$280.00
1926 NGC MS-62.
Exemplary with a fresh, new "look" and pale citrus-gold color. Possibly slightly undergraded and sharply defined.
948The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$280.00
1926 NGC MS-62.
NGC seems to have entered a more conservative phase in grading Indian gold, with this exemplary MS-62 appearing to be about a grade too low. Lovely matte surface texture is one of the enticing...
949The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$450.00
1926 NGC MS-63.
Fabulous for MS-63, with enjoyable dull matte texture over subtle underlying luster that produces the perfect "look" for original sunken-relief gold. Well detailed throughout, and at the top of the...
950The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$450.00
1926 NGC MS-63+.
Rather pretty, surfaces display ideal matte texture and straw-gold patina. A single mark at 12:00 of the obverse can almost certainly be identified as the sold factor preventing a rich upgrade. ...
1069The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$370.00
1926 PCGS MS-62.
Pleasantly defined and seemingly a trifle nicer than MS-62, although the Indian's cheek does display trivial abrasions. The more likely grade-limiting culprit appears to be a moderate pre-striking...
1113The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$650.00
1926 NGC MS-61, and a 1927 $2.50 PCGS MS-61.
Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. 1926 appears a trifle nicer than the NGC MS-61 grade, with lovely mint frost and favorable khaki-gold patina. 1927 has the faint fuzzy hairlines typical of the...
1114The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$800.00
1926 PCGS MS-64.
Rather dramatically toned, some amber-gold accents drape over the obverse and provide a two-toned appearance seldom found for the series. Very sharp, just as expected of the grade, with few ticks on...
910The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$525.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
Several copper spots pepper over the lower portrait. This quarter-eagle exhibits terrific frosty luster and marvelous sharpness, with the grade affected by an oblong abrasion at the bottom of the...
911The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$535.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
Apricot-yellow and surprisingly flashy for such a nicely frosted coin. This Indian displays pinpoint sharpness and excellent luster for MS-63. Some would argue that it's a common date, but they...
855The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$650.00
1926 and 1929, both PCGS MS-61.
1926 seems a little glossy and sports grapefruit toning on the reverse. 1929 has well impressed details, and seems a little nicer than the assigned MS-61 grade. Two coin lot.
856The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$370.00
1926 PCGS MS-62 (green label).

857The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$725.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
Lemon-bright and fastidiously clean, each side fairly blazes with golden brilliance. The broader central areas are a little flatly struck.
858The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$700.00
1926 PCGS MS-63+.
This extra-frosty coin exhibits strong sharpness and plenty of luster to accommodate the assigned grade. Just right of the obverse center, the presence of a rustic copper spot virtually guarantees...
859The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,000.00
1926 NGC MS-64.
Better than average overall save a single mark just in front of the Indian's throat. Pleasing sharpness benefits from complex surface texture that leaves the designs nicely frosted, while the fields...
427The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$370.00
1926 NGC MS-62+.
A fully "choice" grade may have been denied by a pair of copper spots on the reverse, but otherwise, the quality is pretty much all there. Details are especially sharp in the lower headdress feather,...
428The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$750.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
This coin glitters with obvious pale quality, nearly to the point of appearing as "white gold". Technically, the surface quality is above average, with few of the pre-struck ticks, and minor hairline...
429The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,300.00
1926 PCGS MS-64 CAC.
Lovely eye-appeal begins with a deeply impressed strike, and is elevated by very attractive, dry khaki-gold surface texture that shimmers with satin luster. Several tiny ticks in front of the...
1051The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$370.00
1926 NGC MS-61.
Both sides glitter with pale golden color, and the obverse displays a number of very fine hairlines in the left field.
1052The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$875.00
Two 1926 PCGS MS-62.
One coin displays weaker sharpness on the reverse than the other, and both are a trifle pale compared to the ideal for the type. Two coin lot.
1053The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$525.00
1926 MS-62.
Frosty luster is unexpectedly nice for the type, broken here and there by the usual and expected tiny ticks that virtually always accompany these quarter-eagles. Of more importance to grade, there is...
1054The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$675.00
1926 NGC MS-63.
The obverse is clean in most respects except for some evidence of counting-wheel abrasions along the top of the digits in the date. No important distractions can be seen on the reverse.
1055The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$700.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
Finely textured with very good to excellent definition on both sides. A small copper spot is well hidden in the recess beneath the Indian's ear.
1056The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,000.00
1926 NGC MS-64.
Khaki-gold surfaces are reasonably free from abrasions, the most notable being a shallow scrape in the reverse upper field. Sharpness is terrific throughout.

1926 and 1929, both NGC MS-61.
1926 is somewhat pale, but 1929 is even more so. Both coins are affected by significant abrasions, but the 1926 does display some highly attractive mint frost throughout. Two coin lot.
825The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$650.00
1926 PCGS MS-63.
An unusual appearance derives interest from a sizable stain above the Indian's forehead, as well as highly appealing, deep cobalt-grey patina across fully half of the upraised area on the reverse. It...
1000The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,250.00
1926 PCGS MS-64 CAC.
Marvelous mint frost layers delicately over the Indian's portrait and the eagle's breast, and provides about the closest thing to "prooflike" character for sunken-relief gold. PCGS has conferred a...
760The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$290.00
1926 MS-60.
While the obverse is frosty and of select quality, wispy hairlines on the reverse limit grade to MS-60.
761The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$625.00
1926 and 1927 NGC MS-61.
A pair of common Indian quarter-eagles includes 1926 and 1927, both graded MS-61 by NGC. The 1926 has curiously slight reflectivity in the fields, while its companion glitters in a manner more usual...

763The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$600.00
1926 MS-62.
It is remarkable how much nicer diminutive gold coins look outside of slabs, where they can be freely examined. This 1926 Indian quarter-eagle displays lovely cartwheel effect and captivating vintage...
764The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,550.00
1926 PCGS MS-64.
So seldom do well struck examples of Indian gold come to market that one begins to expect every coin to be softly defined, yet the enviable sharpness of this 1926 defies such mediocre expectations....
765The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,550.00
1926 PCGS MS-64.
Were it not for a singular oblong mark in front of the Indian's lips, this might easily be a gem. Surfaces are frosted in beautifully textured apricot-gold sheen.

1926 and 1928 NGC MS-62.
NGC has supplied an MS-62 grade for this, a pair of Indian quarter-eagles. Dates are 1926 and 1928, and while the former seems to be the stronger for the grade, both coins are attractive. Two coin...

1926 PCGS MS-63.
Significantly better than average for the grade, with an obverse that is relatively clean except for a few planchet marks in front of the Indian's lips.
1115The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,100.00
1926 NGC MS-63.

1926 PCGS MS-64.
Very high end for the MS-64 grade, with scarcely any of the expected planchet marks in sight. This is a highly lustrous quarter-eagle, featuring consistently attractive matte surface quality...

1926 and 1927 Indian quarter-eagles, NGC MS-63.

958The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$4,750.00
1926 (x3) NGC MS-64.
Our consignor had hoped to secure at least one gem from his submission of 1926 quarter-eagles to NGC, but such was not his good fortune. However, each member of this trio did grade MS-64, which is...
