Lot 1882
1806 $2.50 Capped Bust. 6 over 4. NGC graded MS-63. Here is one finest graded of this date and variety! NGC has only graded 2 this high, with none graded higher. Further, PCGS has not graded any higher than MS-62, confirming that this is likely one of the best to survive. The obverse has minor adjustment marks which are present in Liberty's hair, and the reverse strike is somewhat weak at the center (typical of the issue). Minor hairlines can be seen in the prooflike and delicate fields. Sharp on the stars and other peripheral devices. We note a minor planchet flake left of the O in OF and a tiny lint mark in the field just in front of Liberty's uppermost curl above her forehead. This one is a fairly early die state with a faint crack through the tops of LIBERTY and a hint of a crack in the left obverse stars. A foremost rarity in this grade, and worthy of the finest quarter eagle collection.
Estimated Value $60,000 - 80,000.
