1806/4 Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-4+. Stars 8x5. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Bright, attractive medium gold surfaces retain much of the original frosty to semi-reflective finish. Central softness is typical of both the type and die pairing, the detail appreciable bolder in most areas toward the borders. Free of troublesome blemishes with strong eye appeal, it is little wonder that this special coin ranks among the few 1806/4 Stars 8x5 quarter eagles in any grade to have met with strict CAC approval. BD Die State b/b.</p><p>This is a difficult coin to find in any grade at all, as only 75 to 90 examples exist today from the original 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 a CAC-approved example on the rare occasions when such coins appear at auction.</p> PCGS# 45512. PCGS Population: 8; 15 finer, just four of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest).</p><p>CAC Population: 7 in all grades.</p>
