| Description: |
There are some rare instances in the field of numismatics when something truly special
comes along: an opportunity, a coin, a group of people, a discovery, or in the rarest of
all cases, a moment in numismatic history that combines all of these things. At the recent
ANA convention in San Francisco, the moment we saw this coin and met C.L. Lee we knew that
we had become a part of something unforgettable and historic, a story that resonates with
the fantasy of found treasure and the romance of the American dream. A quarter eagle is a
small object, less than 1/8th of an ounce of gold, but the quarter eagle we are proud to
offer in this lot represents a much larger narrative in which we are proud to play some
small part. |
