***Auction Highlight*** 1829 Head Left BD-1 R-4+ Capped Bust Gold $2.5 Graded ms63 By SEGS. Up for Auctions is a wonderful and scarce select uncirculated 1829 Capped Bust $2 ½ gold Quarter Eagle. Per Bass/Dannreuther less than 125 examples survive in all grades.Medium golden surfaces exhibit frosty motifs, warm iridescent orange highlights, and satiny, mildly reflective fields. The strike is strong for the date and type with just a trifling weakness at the eagle's sinister claw. One of only 3,403 examples of the date struck, the lowest mintage figure among the six dates in this short-lived design type, 1829-1834. An important and conditionally rare representative of the first Small Dentils/Close Collar quarter eagle issue and an ideal candidate for an advanced early U.S. gold type set. I have included 2 other ms63 examples for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
