Simply put, the highest prices are realized by Stack’s Bowers Galleries and have been for nearly 90 years! In 2020 we claimed 8 of the top 10 auction prices for U.S. coins and 9 of the top 10 prices for U.S. banknotes, including 6 coins that surpassed $1 million. Not even four months into 2021, we have already sold 7 lots in excess of $1 million and set several new world records, highlighted by $8.4 million for the most valuable U.S. Mint gold coin, $1.6 million for the most valuable U.S. Mint half dollar, and $2.64 million for an 1825 Pattern Ruble of Constantine, the highest amount achieved by any American auction house for a non-U.S. coin. We expect to continue our trend of record results this summer with our official auction at the ANA World’s Fair of Money and invite you to share in our proven success!

The D. Brent Pogue Collection Part VI




The Sultan of Muscat-Watters-Brand-Childs-Pogue 1804 Class I Original Silver Dollar

The First Specimen PresentedThe Finest Known Example of the King of American Coins

No other coin so singularly symbolizes the ultimate levels of rarity and desirability in American numismatics as does an 1804 dollar. It would be out of character for the Pogue family to settle for any 1804 dollar other than the finest one extant, the most beautiful and best preserved example, the one whose provenance is filled with the most history and mystery.

Three successive generations of the Childs family cher-ished this coin after 1945, when it was added to the cab-inet built by Walter H. Childs, their father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. The collection was gifted to the youngest Childs, Charles F. Childs II, in 1952, when he was 8, young enough that his father continued to act as

caretaker. In 1999, the Childs family consigned the coin to our firm for sale, along with the rest of their family’s coin cabinet. Between its acquisition in 1945 and its even-tual consignment to auction, only members of the Childs family and their appointed numismatic consultants, Ken-neth and Phillip Bressett, saw this coin.

If you had opened a Guinness Book of World Records in 1998, an 1804 dollar was listed as the world’s most valuable coin. In 1997, the Stickney-Eliasberg Class I 1804 sold for $1,815,000, becoming the second coin to bring over $1 million at auction. In 1989, the million-dollar mark had nearly been reached by another 1804 dollar, the Class I Dexter specimen, which sold for $990,000 that year.




The Sultan of Muscat 1804 Dollar. Class I, Original. Bowers Borckardt-304. Proof-68 (PCGS).

To Be Showcased in our Official Auction at the 2021 ANA World's Fair of Money

“Because the Childs example was the finest 1804 Silver Dollar in existence, there was considerable speculation as to what it may bring,” recalled PCGS CoinFacts found-er Ron Guth in Coin Collecting for Dummies. “The buzz was that the Childs 1804 Silver Dollar would bring at least $2,000,000 and possibly as much as $2.5 to $3 million.” Guth listened in southern California to a live simulcast of the auction held in New York City as the lot quickly surpassed $2 million and then $3 million. In under two minutes, the coin sold for its final price, $4,140,000, a new world record for any coin. Ambassador Fuad Mubarak Al-Hinai, the representative of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the modern-day monarch of the nation of Oman, watched from the gallery.

Legendary beyond the insular world of numismatics, no other American coin has caused as many empty ink-wells as the 1804 dollar, inspiring several full-length books and countless articles and commentaries. It was minted to transcend its basic purpose as an article of money, serv-ing instead as a tool to communicate sophistication and

power, peace and strength. From the moment the ingot of silver that would become this coin first felt the tug of the rollers, this coin was produced to be not only an object invested with the hopes of American diplomacy, but also a gift fit for a king.
