Premium Choice AU 1807 Gold $2.50 1807 Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle. BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Seldom are pre-1834 U.S. Mint gold coins of any denomination, type or date offered with the exceptional quality and eye appeal of this PQ 1807 $2.50. It is a near-fully lustrous survivor from these dies with a delightful satin to softly frosted texture easily seen as the surfaces rotate under a light. Wisps of pale rose iridescence drift over a base of warm honey-orange color. A touch of softness in isolated peripheral areas and through the center of the reverse hardly detract in an otherwise well produced, expertly preserved Capped Bust Right gold coin. BD Die State a/b. With a mintage of 6,812 pieces, the 1807 Capped Bust Right quarter eagle is the issue most typically encountered of the type. While this issue is "common" in the context of early quarter eagles, high quality examples in any grade haven't been common since the issue was released in 1807. Just one die pair is known to have struck the entire issue and perhaps only 250 to 350 survive in all grades (per John W. Dannreuther, 2006). With rare and coveted CAC approval, this piece represents an important opportunity for quality-conscious collectors. CAC Population: 43 in all grades. PCGS# 7656. NGC ID: BFVY.
