1833 $2.50 BD-1 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle PCGS MS66
SKU: 53741894
1833 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle, BD-1, Rarity-5, PCGS MS66 (Secure Plus), CMQ PQ – Ex Pogue Collection
A true prize from the fabled Pogue cabinets, this premium Gem 1833 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle represents one of the most elusive early U.S. gold types in extraordinary Mint State. Certified PCGS MS66 (Secure Plus) and designated CMQ PQ for premium quality, this BD-1 die marriage carries a Rarity-5 rating—scarce at any grade and virtually unobtainable in this level of preservation.
Key details:
Date/Type: 1833 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle ($2.50), Reduced Diameter series (1829–1834), Philadelphia Mint
Variety: BD-1; Rarity-5 (approximately 31–75 known for the marriage)
Grade: PCGS MS66, Secure Plus; CMQ PQ approved for superior eye appeal and quality within the grade
Pedigree: Pogue Collection, one of the most celebrated collections of early U.S. gold
Mintage: Just 4,160 pieces
Population: PCGS Pop 1 in MS66; only 1 coin finer
Historical significance:
Struck in the final years of the Capped Head Left design, the 1833 Quarter Eagle embodies early U.S. Mint innovation. The reduced-diameter format introduced close-collar technology, yielding sharp rims and reeded edges. Issued under the pre-1834 weight and fineness standard, these quarter eagles saw limited public circulation and high attrition—factors that drive today’s rarity, especially in high grade.
Collector and investor appeal:
Elite condition census: With just one example graded MS66 at PCGS and a single coin higher, this piece sits at the top of the market’s competitive tier.
Provenance and approval: The Pogue pedigree and CMQ PQ endorsement underscore exceptional originality and eye appeal—key confidence markers for advanced collectors.
Important early gold type: A cornerstone for type sets, early gold specialists, and registry competitors seeking a best-of-the-best representative.
Opportunities to acquire a Pogue-provenanced, PCGS Secure Plus MS66 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle are exceedingly rare. Secure a museum-caliber centerpiece that combines scarcity, condition, and pedigree in one exceptional 1833 BD-1 Rarity-5 example.
