<B>1808 $2 1/2 --Repaired--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> Breen-6125, Bass-3017, R.4. The 1808 quarter eagle is not merely a rare date. It is also the only quarter eagle issue of the Capped Bust Left type, making it a one-year type coin. (The John Reich design in half eagle format was struck annually between 1807 and 1812.) If patterns are discounted, among gold coins only the 1796 No Stars quarter eagle presents a greater challenge for type collectors. The present sharply defined green-gold piece is subdued. The left obverse field is sunken from tooling and has a couple of tiny dark spots. A shallow depression on the base of Liberty's neck is possibly as made. A short pinscratch is unobtrusively located near 1 o'clock. The reverse is lightly hairlined but otherwise problem-free. Despite its repair, the present piece provides a rare type set opportunity.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
