1808 Capped Bust Left Quarter Eagle, Unc Details
Popular One-Year Type Coin, BD-1

1808 $2 1/2 BD-1, R.4 -- Repaired -- NGC Details. Unc. Ex: Hilt Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b. From a small mintage of 2,710 pieces, the 1808 Capped Bust Left quarter eagle is the only issue with the Large Bust obverse, making it an extremely popular one-year type coin. Only a single variety is known for the date, with a surviving population of 125-150 examples in all grades.

A still-attractive representative of this sought-after early gold type coin, this piece offers well-detailed design elements, with just a touch of softness on some stars and the eagle's claws. The obverse shows the weak dentilation always seen on this issue and the pleasing antique-gold surfaces show only minor signs of contact.
