1821 Capped Head Quarter Eagle PCGS MS60

Sirhc

Rare Unc.

 It had been 13 years since the last quarter eagles were coined until this denomination was resumed again. Production remained low with 6,448 produced in 1821. And only 17,042 pieces were coined for the entire type! As John Dannreuther points out: “Besides the usual factors that remove coins from circulation–wear, loss, and so on–the early gold issues faced another factor that doomed many of them. Pre-1834 old coins were melted after the June 28, 1834 passage of the act reducing the weight of gold coins.” The 1821 quarter eagle is the first issue of this design, and the entire mintage is from a single die pair. Because so few business strikes were coined after the proofs, nearly all have reflective surfaces as on this coin. Its color is more yellow-gold, as opposed to the orange-gold seen in our images. More importantly, it looks much more appealing than expected for the assigned grade. The PCGS population is 2 with 11 higher.

1833 Capped Head Quarter Eagle NGC MS61

Rare Unc.

As expected from a coin with only 4,160 pieces produced, many known mint state examples have semi-prooflike fields as almost all the mintage is essentially a first-strike. Fortunately, this one is no exception in that regard. A mere 60 to 80 pieces of this date are believed known. Mass meltings account for the scarcity of this and other early quarter eagle and half eagle issues. The NGC population is just 8 with 14 higher.

1830 Capped Head Quarter Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Rare Unc. Reduced Diameter

The story of the 1830 quarter eagles is a virtual carbon copy of the first year of this variety – the 1829. The production was a low-mintage affair, in this case totaling 4,540 coins, a slight uptick from the previous year. Only a single die pair and a single die state are known, since so few examples were struck. This is an extremely short lived variety (with a reduced diameter), spanning only the years 1829-1834. Representatives of each date are difficult to locate in any grade. Though not apparent in our images, this one is bright and flashy.
