FROM THE PUG COLLECTION. This is a gorgeous, pearly-lustrous borderline GEM that has a stunning look. Nicely struck, we note just some minor weakness of the dentils at the periphery. Bold, satiny sliver luster blooms with a vivid brilliance that you rarely see on an early quarter. A touch of champagne gold glows all over. There are minimal traces of contact, visible only with the aid of a powerful glass. This is a reuse of the 1805, B-4 die marriage, where the already used obverse die had a 6 punched over the original 5, which was not effaced. This GEM has a great look, and the eye appeal is amazing! We cannot trace the provenance for this amazing coin, though it has a similar look to the Petry-Clapp-Eliasberg coin (not the same); and is better struck than the R.L.Miles coin (last listed as having sold in Stack's Session of Auction '80). It is clearly not the Col. Green- Eric Newman- Oliver Jung, Randall-Garrett, or other coins listed in the Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census. PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 3. PCGS has graded 2 in 64+ and NGC has graded 1. The other 64+ sold for $42,300 in June 2016 and the Randall-Garrett-Gardner MS64 PCGS/CAC sold for $55,813 in June 2014. The Eliasberg coin sold for $60,375 as an NGC MS64 (no CAC) in November 2011. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $55,000. Only three coins are graded higher at PCGS, and they all would likely carry six-figure prices if they were to appear in auction today. This is a world-class example of this very popular overdate, and a great coin for any type, date, or variety set! We know this coin will see stiff bidding competition when it crosses the block! Good luck! Cert. Number 28465340 PCGS # 5315
