November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: BD Die State b/b. Rich, vivid color in deep olive and brighter medium gold greet the viewer from both sides. Softness of strike in the centers is typical of both the type and die pairing, but the absence of all but light wear has left plenty of bold to sharp definition toward the borders. Abundant satin luster also remains to further confirm a brief stint in circulation and uphold the validity of the desirable AU-58 grade from PCGS. A coin that will excite advanced gold enthusiasts, and whose offering here will result in spirited bidding.<p>The 1806/4 $2.50 is difficult find in any grade at all, as only 75 to 90 examples exist today from the reported mintage of 1,136 pieces (this estimate per John W. Dannreuther, 2006). The rarity of this particular variety should be put into perspective, for it is actually one of the more available in the Capped Bust Right quarter eagle series, all of which are rare by any numismatic standard. Few collectors will have the opportunity to own one at any level of preservation, while only the most fortunate can secure an attractive and problem-free Choice AU example on the rare occasions when such coins appear at auction.
