Stunning Choice Uncirculated 1807 Quarter Eagle Popular Final Year Issue 1807 Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle. BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. Offered is an exceptionally attractive Mint State example of a challenging early U.S. Mint gold design type. The vivid orange-gold surfaces are enhanced by outstanding luster in a softly frosted texture. The obverse is minimally marked for the assigned grade, the reverse close to Gem, and the entire package is seemingly worthy of a higher grade based on today's more liberal standards. Mint-made adjustment marks remain near Liberty's ear, explaining the minor softness seen in the centers on both sides. Otherwise we note impressively full detail for an issue that is well known as a strike rarity. BD Die State b/b. With a mintage of 6,812 pieces, the 1807 Capped Bust Right quarter eagle is the issue most typically encountered of the type. Mint State examples, however, haven't been common since the issue was released 1807. Just one die pair is known to have struck the entire issue and perhaps only 250 to 350 survive in all grades (per Dannreuther, 2006). Fewer than 40 of those coins are Mint State, and this piece certainly ranks among the finest certified. A Condition Census offering, and a premium quality coin at the MS-63 level that is worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Andrew M. Hain Collection. PCGS Population: 4; 2 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 7656. NGC ID: BFVY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
