1808 Capped Bust Gold $2 1/2 NCS AU details $49,500 SOLD
A classic American rarity, and the first 1808 Quarter Eagle we have offered in over ten years. This is a one year type coin, and it is estimated that approximately only 50-60 coins are known from an original mintage of just 2,710. The piece we are offering is in an NCS AU details holder, and states: Reverse Planchet Flaw, Reverse Scratched on the holder. Both problems are fairly minimal and do nothing to detract from the sharp AU details this coin exhibits. A problem-free coin with this sort of detail would likely be a six-figure ($100,000+) coin.
