November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Description du lot: BD Die Sate a/b. Impressive Choice AU preservation in a challenging pre-1834 U.S. Mint gold issue. Rich deep honey-olive color blankets surfaces that also exhibit more vivid accents of orange and pinkish-rose. Considerable mint luster remains, the texture softy frosted with hints of reflectivity in the fields. A touch of softness in isolated peripheral areas and through the center of the reverse hardly detract in an otherwise well produced, nicely preserved Capped Bust Right quarter eagle.<p>Despite a paltry mintage of 6,812 pieces, the 1807 Capped Bust Right quarter eagle is the issue most typically encountered of the type. While it is "common" in the context of early quarter eagles, high quality examples at any grade point haven't been common since the issue was delivered to bullion depositors 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). This offered example represents an important opportunity for quality-conscious collectors.
