The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION BD-1, only a single die pair was used to strike all 4,520 quarter eagles, of which perhaps 110-125 examples are known today. Many of these old tenor gold coins were exported and melted for their bullion content, as rising gold prices made their metallic value exceed their face value. Like the reverse in the 1805 above, this reverse die was used to produce all 1830-1834 quarter eagles. Rich, antique gold coloration is enlivened by a wealth of original mint luster. Generally well struck throughout, if one was to nit-pick, there is a hint of weakness at the upper left corner of the shield. There are a couple of toning spots, and there are a couple of marks in the reverse field, none too distracting. In all, this rarity offers a bold visual quality that most collectors will delight in! Ex. Donald Bently Collection, Heritage, March 2014, lot 30218. PCGS 10, NGC 5. The most recent non-CAC example sold in September 2019 for $21,150 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $19,000. This coin will certainly delight the type or date collector, this is an issue rarely offered in any grade, and this CHOICE example has a lot to offer. Cert. Number 35354289 PCGS # 7671
