1807 $2.50 Bust NGC MS63
<Our item number 139359><B>1807 &#36;2.50 Capped Bust. BD-1. NGC graded MS-63.</B> In this auction high grade and high quality often come together, remarkably and wonderfully so in this instance. No doubt about it, this lovely 1807 quarter eagle, the last of its type, is graded a strong MS63, and fairly so, and is one of the most attractive strikes we have ever seen on what is often a problematic year. It is virtually a model example. <BR><BR>On the obverse of the coin, Liberty wears a cloth hat of conical shape, supposedly the fashion of turn of the century &#40;19th century, that is&#41; Europe and America. Thirteen stars surround with seven stars behind, and six in front, the word LIBERTY above. The fields are very sleek, unrippled &#40;straight as a board&#41; and lightly Prooflike. To reiterate: all details are excellent.<BR><BR>The reverse shows quality above and beyond the norm, displaying the eagle&#39;s feathers, shield stripes, star points, cloud details, to good effect, with everything else the col lector hopes for but is usually denied.<BR><BR>For the specialist in this series by dates this 1807 clearly surpasses &#34;average&#34; quality. We expect that it will decorate a Type Set when all is said and done. It is truly one of the most attractive we have offered. 6,812 pieces struck. <B>Pop 3; none finer at NGC.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7656&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;45,000 - 50,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 139359<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139359.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139359N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
