660, illustrated, sold for $4,370.00 The late Aubrey E. Bebee of
Omaha, Nebraska, who during his career bought, sold and owned most of the
major U.S. coin rarities (and currency rarities as well), is credited with
the discovery of this Civil War overdate. First publicized in the Numismatic
Scrapbook Magazine (January 1963), the new discovery probably caused
readers of the magazine who owned the 1862 quarter eagles to take a closer
look at their own coins!
