- Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "The
Pre-Long Beach Auction", September 23-24, 2002, Lot 363, illustrated,
described (in part) as follows: "NGC graded MS-67. A magnificent gem
example with surfaces that are only surpassed by the more stunning toning
on both sides! This coin is simply alive with the fire of mint luster
which dances beneath the artist's palette of blues, golds and greens on
both sides. Mostly blue on the obverse, while the reverse sports an
incredible array of blue, gold and red with some white near the center on
the eagle. A coin which anyone can appreciate for its peacock like
display, but few could ever hope to acquire such a gem...", bought
back by the consignor for $18,975.00
- Superior Galleries' "Pre-Long Beach Coin Auction", February
24-25, 2003, Lot 1481, illustrated, NGC holder 133066-003
