Description
VERY CHOICE, LUSTROUS SURFACES. WELL STRUCK. ONLY 6,812 STRUCK. JUST SIX COINS GRADED HIGHER AT PCGS. LAST YEAR OF THE CAPPED BUST TO RIGHT TYPE. The final Quarter Eagle of the Capped Bust Right type, the 1807 is also the most frequently encountered in today's market. Perhaps understandably, it is a perennially popular coin among gold type collectors. As with all early gold issues, however, the 1807 Two-and-a-Half is still an elusive coin when viewed in the wider context of numismatics. We believe that just 250-350 examples have survived from an original mintage of 6,812 pieces - a total that would confirm the 1807 Quarter Eagle as a major rarity in most other U.S. coin series.
