1861-S Paquet Double Eagle, rare 1930-S Indian Eagle and early U.S. gold also rank among July 16-18 event highlights.
J.J. Conway & Company’s simple, typographical design is vaguely reminiscent of the issues of the Appalachian gold rush. Of the nine known Conway quarter eagles, five are in private hands, and two grade mint state.
