Large Diameter Capped Head Left Key

1826/6 $2 1/2 BD-1, High R.5 -- Holed/Plug -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Die State Bass-Dannreuther a/a. Only a single die marriage struck 1826-dated quarter eagles. The 1826/6 BD-1 is rare, with only 30 to 35 survivors according to Dannreuther. The Guide Book mintage is only 760 pieces, by far the lowest among the 11 dates in the Capped Head Left series. Among the five Large Diameter dates, the 1826/6 is the rarest. The present straw-gold representative displays only slight wear. A plug is evident at star 13 relative to the obverse, and at the right wingtip relative to the reverse. Star 13 and that wingtip are re-engraved. The fields are moderately bright, but no abrasions are relevant.
