- 1834 $2 1/2 MS64 S Prooflike NGC. CAC. Breen-6140, Variety 2, R.3. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. With a full strike, brightly lustrous reflective fields, and lightly frosted motifs, this sharply brilliant coin with the NGC Star designation is among the finest-known prooflike examples of the date. A slight tinge of lime-green appears at the margins and enhances the eye appeal of the original, sun-gold patina. The large mintage of Classic Head quarter eagles in 1834 through 1836 solidified the acceptance of the denomination in commerce and with the public. A total of nearly 800,000 pieces were struck for the three-year period. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $100.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $22912.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1834 $2 1/2 Capped Bust -- Repaired -- NGC. AU Details. BD-1, R.6. Among the scarcest of early gold type, the 1834 Motto quarter eagle is an extreme rarity in any condition, although most surviving examples are in higher grades. There is no official record of any coins leaving the Mint for distribution. Nearly the entire 4,000-piece issue was melted in preparation for the lighter-weight Classic Head type with a mintage of 112,234 pieces the same year. Walter Breen believed all examples of the Capped Bust design were proofs, although this argument is discounted in the Bass-Dannreuther reference and by other researchers. The current coin shows areas of smoothing and repair beneath the eagle's left wing and elsewhere, with hairlines from a subsequent cleaning. Most of the prooflike surface is dulled, although the coin retains a reasonably pleasing green-gold patina. A thin circle of prooflikeness remains at the obverse margin among the stars. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $19975.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1830 $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. CAC. BD-1, R.4. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. The reduced-diameter Capped Head Left series (1829 to 1834) consists of only low-mintage issues, representing a challenging subset for any collector of early Mint State gold. This brilliant, semiprooflike example was struck from obviously polished dies, with the swirling, raised polish lines still evident and undiminished by die use. The coin displays sharp medium-gold coloration with deeper orange patina forming at the margins and high points of the motifs. A bold strike shows only slight weakness at Liberty's curls above and adjacent to the ear, and likewise at the eagle's left (facing) wing at the shield junction. Mint luster is pervasive and strong, as is the eye appeal confirmed by the CAC approval. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a.

- 1830 $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. BD-1, R.4. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. The Mint's ability to strike quarter eagles with a close collar started with the reduced-diameter 1829 issue and continued thereafter. As a result, the production quality improved and sharply struck coins ensued. However, because gold prices were rising, only tiny mintages of quarter eagles were made, and many of the coins were melted almost immediately for their intrinsic value. A light, greenish-gold patina covers the surfaces of this attractive survivor. The fields retain a large amount of prooflike reflectivity as expected because of the scant mintage of just 4,540 pieces. A few light adjustment marks are visible on the eagle's shield, but they are of minimal concern at the assigned grade. When the Coinage Act of 1834 reduced the weight of quarter eagles, mintages increased dramatically. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a.

- 1825 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. CAC. BD-2, High R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. A fully prooflike, reflective sheen covers the obverse of this fantastic Gem 1825 quarter eagle, while the reverse is semiprooflike overall, with reflective areas contrasted against some patches of light mint frost. This is clearly an early strike from dies that were fresh on each side. The entire mintage of the 1825 quarter eagles was 4,434 pieces, the majority of them (given the survival ratios) the more-available BD-2 variety of the present coin, as the BD-1 is ranked High R.6. Both varieties share a common reverse that was first employed in 1821, showing the 1 and 2 in the fraction both distant from the fraction bar and a large D in the denomination. The obverse of the BD-2 is distinguished by a recut 5 in the date that tilts sharply to the left in relation to the other digits. The flag of the 5 is blunt, and the top and bottom of the 5 are both lower than the 2. Recutting shows clearly atop the flag of the 5 on this piece, typical of examples from the early die state seen here. The greenish-gold surfaces on this piece are bathed in generous luster, showing no signs of post-Mint contact. A small planchet flaw just below star 9 provides a pedigree identifier. The strike is razor-sharp throughout both sides on a well-centered planchet. Exceptionally bold detailing appears in Liberty's hair on the obverse and in the eagle's wing feathers, claws, and arrows on the reverse. This remarkable Gem is the sole example in the MS65 grade at NGC, bettered by a single MS66 (another example is graded MS63 Prooflike at that service). This piece is also the sole finest example with the CAC approval. Lovers of top-quality coins should bid fiercely to obtain this Gem example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

- 1805 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. CAC. BD-1, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a. Despite the low mintage, the dies for the 1805 quarter eagle were subsequently hard-used, both obverse and reverse. Following the minimal mintage for 1805-dated coins, the obverse die was repunched (despite its hardened state) to strike the 1806/5 quarter eagles. For the reverse die, the 1805 mintage was a mere warm-up. It was then used to strike both 1806 and 1807 quarter eagles, and pressed into further service striking more than 150,000 1807 dimes. Perhaps only 100 to 150 pieces survive of the 1805 quarter eagle mintage. While several About Uncirculated pieces are cited on the population reports, those numbers are likely overstated due to multiple submissions and crossovers. This Choice AU example is outstanding both for its original surfaces and strong eye appeal. Nice mint luster remains beneath orange-gold patina with rose-gold and olive accents. Minimal abrasions are distributed primarily on the reverse, where occasional, light adjustment marks are seen between the clouds and rim. The strike is bold and pleasing. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $23500.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
