Handsome Mint State 1802 Quarter Eagle 1802/'1' Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-4. Spike Shield. MS-62 (PCGS). An appealing example of the type, date and die pairing that will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast. Handsome color blankets both sides. The finish is satiny overall, and the strike is suitably bold for this challenging early U.S. Mint issue. Remarkably nice for the assigned grade, and not all that far from a Choice Mint State rating. Among dates of this type, the 1802 is not considered elusive in circulated grades. Many collectors choose an 1802 or 1807 to represent the design type, and with perhaps 200 specimens of the 1802 surviving in all grades, there are generally enough for collectors to at least locate one. In Mint State grades, especially higher grades like this, the air is rarefied. This is one of our finer offerings so far during the 21st century, highlighting the significance of this opportunity for advanced bidders. For many years numismatists believed that the 2 was over a 1, a feature seen on its big brother the half eagle of this year, which often shows the overdate feature rather sharp. However, more recent scholarship has discounted the presence of an underlying 1 on the sole 1802-dated quarter eagle die. Provenance: From the Andrew M. Hain Collection. PCGS# 7650. NGC ID: 25F6.
