Hi @ChristineR,

The Stack’s 18 June 1986 catalog is here https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/auctionlots?AucCoId=3&AuctionId=516606

The price realized for lot 463 was $198.00. In today’s inflation adjusted value that would be $478.96.

EDIT ADDED:
If the other coins have similar provenance info I suggest you provide copies of it to Mr Sear (or whoever) to help authenticate and value the items.

..i concur wid my man Ryro on all counts here...

 

Thank you, Broucheion. Are you saying that if I send Mr. Sears four coins, I should also send copies of similar others that I have to help authenticate and value?

 

Hi @ChristineR,

No, I am saying that you should tell him where/when the coin appeared for sale if possible. That fixes the coin at a point in time and helps establish a history for it. If there are photos in catalogs, so much the better.

@ChristineR , I found at least 4 others aurei that are sharing the same reverse die as yours. Some of them have price estimates , you can make an idea of the value , but keep in mind that yours is a little worn. I edited your photos to a better format, to compare.
