FROM THE NAPLES COLLECTION This is exactly what you want to see in an early gold piece! The surfaces are nicely toned with a warm, original orange gold patina over satiny vibrant lustrous surfaces. Clearly this essentially CHOICE piece was never conserved, dipped, stripped, or worse in an effort to attain a higher numeric grade. These early gold pieces when like this are marvels of numismatic survival and are truly a delight to behold! The entire mintage of 6,812 was struck using a single pair of dies. The BD-1 die pair is a Rarity-3 with an estimated 250-350 known in all grades. This example is about as high a grade as most collectors can hope to obtain for their sets, only six are graded finer and RARELY appear in auction. Struck from a late state of the dies, the central portions are slightly weak, as made. A bold ember-like glowing luster radiates boldly in the fields, giving life to the "crusty" orange-gold patina on the obverse. The reverse is a pleasing honey wheat gold that is amplified by the boldness of the brilliance. There are no serious marks, scuffs, or breaks in the luster that mar the impressive visual allure of this PQ MS62 1807 quarter eagle. PCGS 16, NGC 14, CAC 3. The most recent example to sell was an NGC/CAC coin from the Larry Miller Collection in December 2020 for $48,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $60,000 and PCGS-graded coins appear only once every 6-8 years! Only six coins are graded finer, and the last PCGS MS63 sold in 2008! This very high end coin belongs in a world class type or date set of early quarter eagles and will bring a very strong bid when it crosses the block. Cert. Number 41385431 PCGS # 7656
