Description

Prooflike 1802 BD-1 Quarter Eagle, MS62

1802/1 $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Breen-6118, BD-1, R.4. John Dannreuther calls this the Spiked Shield variety for the horizontal die line from the left shield corner to the wing. The die line actually pierces the left wing and continues about half way across. BD-1 is the most common variety of 1802 quarter eagles, yet only about 100 examples are known in all grades. Another variety, BD-3, also has a similar die line from the left shield corner, but on BD-3 it is vertical instead of horizontal, joining the ribbon between the B and U of PLURIBUS. Lovely prooflike green-gold surfaces create excellent eye appeal on each side of this piece. Both sides are lightly abraded, explaining the MS62 grade and not a higher grade.(Registry values: P6)
