1804 Small 8 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS63

Sirhc

Choice Mint State

 A mintage of 30,475 Capped Bust Right half eagles was accomplished in 1804, with seven die varieties known for the date. This coin represents the scarce BD-1 variety, with a Small 8 (John Dannreuther notes it is really a Normal 8) in the date and a graver’s line from the point of the shield to the eagle’s beak on the reverse. The BD-1 has a surviving population of 70-90 examples in all grades.

1825 Capped Bust Dime NGC PR65

Sirhc

According to some estimates, only six Proof 1825 dimes are known in all grades. Currently, the NGC population is just three, including this one and one graded higher. And the PCGS population is only one. While not apparent in our images, this example is richly and attractively toned in turquoise hues with traces of violet. The surfaces are fully reflective, including within the reverse shield stripes – a trait that PL business strikes are unlikely to exhibit. This is a truly rare and desirable coin!

1808/7 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS61

Sirhc

According to Mint records, 55,578 Capped Bust Left half eagles were struck in 1808, the second year of the design. Four die varieties are known for the date, two with perfect dates and two struck from leftover obverse dies from 1807 that were over-dated and pressed into service. The remnants of the under-type 7 are plainly visible at the upper left and lower left of the final 8, and inside the top loop. The BD-1 is a rare variety, with fewer than three dozen examples thought to be extant in all grades. It probably accounted for 2,000-3,000 pieces of the reported mintage and is by far the rarest variety of the date. In hand, this example is considerably more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images.

1831 Small Letters Capped Bust Quarter NGC MS65

Sirhc

Virtually White Gem

The 1831 Capped Bust quarter claims a mintage of 398,000 pieces, with seven die varieties known for the date. Chief Engraver William Kneass experimented with two different sized punches for the reverse lettering, creating Small Letters and Large Letters subtypes. While not designated on the NGC grading label, this is a Small Letters example. The one offered here is brighter and flashier than seen in our images. Only six 1831 quarters of various varieties have been graded higher by NGC.

1810 Capped Bust Half Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

Satiny, Choice Unc.

This is the Large Date, Large 5 combination, which, along with the Small Date, Tall 5, is the most frequently seen of the four Guide Book varieties known for the year. It is also part of a short-lived, but very tough series. This particular example is pleasing, overall, and would make a fine addition to a gold type set. Listed at $26,000, $23,500 and $30,000 in the CDN CPG, the PCGS price guide and Trends, respectively.
