1824/1 $2.50 MS (PCGS#7663)

The Regency Auction 41

详细说明: Only 2,600 quarter eagles were estimated to have been struck and of those, about 50-60 are thought to survive. These were all struck from a single pair of dies, BD-1. This lightly worn example has a trace of friction on the highest points, but the fields retain ample luster. There is some weakness along the left side of the eagle's body along the shield. There is a minor scratch on the reverse, but the eye appeal is very pleasing overall, despite the minor flaw. These early quarter eagles as a class are all rare, and like all old tenor gold coins from the 1820s and 1830s, the 1824/1 is incredibly scarce as a date. As a type, these are a challenge to collect, making them very popular among advanced collectors. PCGS 5, NGC 8. The last NGC-graded coin sold in August 2013 for $18,800. The current Collectors Universe value is $27,500. Incredibly rare any finer, NGC and PCGS combined have graded only 20 finer. Cert. Number 653527-001 PCGS # 7663.00
