Lot 642
Quarter Eagle. 1829. NGC graded MS-64. A gorgeous specimen, almost fully proof-like with a mixture of patches of mint frost. Razor sharp strike with all of the design elements (head, stars and eagle) showing exquisite detail. The lustre and color of the coin are both outstanding. There are some insignificent contact marks scattered about on the face and neck. Overall, this is one of the dozen or so finest examples of this date we have seen. Only 3403 pieces were struck and this date is obviously rare in any condition as perhaps 4% to 5% of the original mintage still exists (125-150 pieces) but certainly no more. As of this date, NGC has graded but 4 in this grade and one higher.
