1832 Quarter Eagle, BD-1, MS62
Low-Mintage Issue

1832 $2 1/2 BD-1, R.4, MS62 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/c. The Philadelphia Mint struck a small production of 4,400 Capped Bust Left quarter eagles in 1832, with a single die variety known for the date. The obverse die was slightly modified, either by William Kneass or Christian Gobrecht, giving the portrait a "fatter" look. The hardy reverse was used to strike all quarter eagles from 1830-1834. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 80-100 examples in all grades. This impressive MS62 example displays sharply detailed design elements and lightly marked orange-gold surfaces that radiate vibrant mint luster from both sides. Overall eye appeal is terrific. Census: 6 in 62 (1 in 62+), 6 finer (6/21).
