On Feb. 9, 2014, GreatCollections will close bidding on the Dr. Spencer Paterson Collection of U.S. Type Coins. The GreatCollections’ auction, spanning early copper, silver and gold coins, offers more than 100 unreserved lots to include a 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle graded XF-45 by PCGS.
Valued in the PCGS Price Guide at $110,000, the rarity is a one-year type issue with a low mintage of only 963. About 100 pieces are known today in various grades.
"It is our privilege to auction Dr. Paterson’s type set, which includes scarce coins like the 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle," said Ian Russell, President/founder of GreatCollections.
"Another impressive coin is the 1795 Half Eagle (Small Eagle) graded NGC XF-45. Both the Quarter Eagle and this Half Eagle have never appeared in public auction until now."
In addition to viewing by appointment at GreatCollections’ Irvine, California office, the Paterson Collection will be on view at the Long Beach Coin Expo from Thursday, Jan. 30, through Saturday, Feb. 1.
