Important 1832 Quarter Eagle, MS62 PCGS

1832 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6135, Bass-3029, R.4. A sharply struck representative whose only softness of detail requires examination to locate, and is limited to the first two vertical shield stripes. This pleasing olive-green piece is moderately prooflike and is undeniably clean for the grade. A short pinscratch through the lower two arrow shafts is the only mark remotely worthy of individual mention. The right obverse field has a small planchet flaw of mint origin. There is no such thing as a 'common date' Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle; although 11 different dates are known, none has a mintage above 6,448 pieces and the vast majority of examples were melted soon after production. For the 1832, 4,400 pieces were reported as struck. Unimpaired survivors are rare, especially in Mint State, and MS62 examples threaten the Condition Census. Only die pairing was used to produce 1832-dated Quarter Eagles, it is identified by a recut base on the 2 in the date and a recut U in UNITED. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 5 in 62, 1 finer (9/04).(#7672) (Registry values: P5)
