Near-Mint 1832 Quarter Eagle

1832 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Breen-6135, BD-1, R.4. The only known dies, identified by the recut U in UNITED and a high 1 in the date. The three types of early quarter eagles from 1808 through 1834 are a highly desirable and elusive trio. The 1808 is a one year design, followed by an intermission before the 1821 to 1827 quarter eagles were struck. From 1829 to 1834, a slightly modified type had a reduced diameter. Some collectors consider the 1821 to 1834 issues as a single design. John Dannreuther estimates a surviving population of 150 examples of 1808, about 300 of the 1821 to 1827, and about 500 examples of 1829 to 1834. Just 500 collectors of gold type coins will annihilate the supply.
Virtually Mint State, with lightly abraded obverse and reverse surfaces. Satiny and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces show a hint of green, framed by peripheral orange toning.
