James A. Stack Collection - Stack’s 10/1994:836, $11,000 - Heritage 5/2000:7553, $13,225 - Bowers & Merena 8/2006:4092, $85,100 - Lawrence R. Stack Collection, sold privately via Kevin Lipton - D. Brent Pogue Collection - Stack’s/Bowers & Sotheby’s 5/2015:1125, $94,000

In Doug Winter's blog post dated 5/22/2015, he commented on this coin:
“Lot 1125, an 1806/4 graded MS62 by PCGS, was a coin which really appealed to me on account of its spectacular fiery reddish - gold color. It had first surfaced in the October 1994 James Stack auction where it had sold for a reasonable $11,000 as a raw “AU” coin. I was prepared to bid up to $60,000 and was encouraged when it opened at $45,000. I was soon blown away by both of the determined phone bidders, and the final price realized was a very strong $94,000.”
