1825 $2.50 Capped Head PCGS MS64
<b>1825 &#36;2.50 Capped Head. PCGS graded MS64.</b> Beautiful greenish yellow gold luster with considerable reflective prooflike character. Minor hairlines and other abrasions are noted, but so few and inconsequential that they barely register on the eye; there are no rim problems whatsoever. This date historically has been described rare. In fact, the 1825 is about as rare as the 1821 or 1824 dates in Mint condition. By that we mean that there are very few that have been certified.

As a Type, this is probably the most overlooked of the 1796 to 1834 issues, with choice mint states rarely offered for sale, even in the largest &#34;name&#34; collections. The true rarity of this issue will reveal itself when the bidding is through. Accordingly, the present offering represents the opportunity to acquire a great American classic, a truly formidable rarity in this grade, at a price that is substantially less than one that has been bestowed with an aura of fame on some others in the series. In time, the numismatic hobby recognizes its classics, and often pieces overlooked in one era are recognized in another. Someday the 1825 quarter eagle will receive its due &#40;Housed in PCGS holder 6571312.&#41;.
