Appealing 1807 Quarter Eagle, AU50

1807 $2 1/2 AU50 PCGS. Breen-6124, BD-1, R.3. The only known die marriage of this early date, and the final issue of the Capped Bust to Right type of quarter eagle. This issue had a low mintage (by modern standards) of 6,812 pieces. However, this modest number of coins was more than double the next-lowest mintage total for the Capped Bust to Right series. This AU example displays smooth fields and well centered, generally bold devices. The final reverse star and the eagle's shield are noticeably weak, and a few of the obverse star centrils are incomplete. Shallow indentations located near the obverse periphery at 2 and 5 o'clock, respectively, appear to be mint-made. Both sides exhibit a pleasing, even greenish-gold cast. This relatively high grade example should generate considerable interest when it crosses the auction block. (Registry values: P5)
