World’s most valuable private coin collection up for auction


Worth US$2.50 when made in 1808, the 1808 Quarter Eagle gold coin is expected to achieve more than 500,000 times its face value. This design is the rarest among all US gold coins, made only in 1808, and the Pogue Collection offers by far the finest surviving example.

“Money makes money”, they say, and this adage is best exemplified by the D. Brent Pogue coin collection which was assembled over 40 years. Unlike works of art, antiques, stocks and properties, coins already ARE money.

Never before in the history of numismatics has a father and son assembled a coin collection worth US$200mil to US$220mil (RM740mil to RM814mil). Their collection of coins does not run into thousands.
