The March 2012 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1805 Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle. BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. EF-45 (PCGS). Attractive muted gray-gold in color with pleasing surfaces throughout. There are minimal signs of handling beyond light wear on the high points of the design. Trace adjustment marks were nearly obliterated by the force of the strike are seen faintly in Liberty's hair. Remarkably well preserved, and a prize from the tiny mintage of 1,781 pieces for the entire year, of which perhaps 100 survive today. These are truly handsome coins when found this attractive, and represent one of the most underrated type coins in American numismatics.
