1832 $2.5 AU55 PCGS CAC

The 1832 quarter eagle was struck during a period when U.S. gold coin production was still relatively limited and minting technology was developing, so surviving examples often show variation in strike and detail. Coins from this era are highly valued not just for their gold content but for their connection to the early federal minting system and early American monetary policy. The 1832 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle, Type 3 with Small Diameter, is a seldom-encountered early gold issue struck from a single die marriage, with a modest mintage of just 4,400 pieces and an estimated surviving population of approximately 122 examples in all grades. Having just placed and sold the finest for the date an MS62 PCGS CAC, we are pleased to offer a more affordable example. This Choice AU example displays notably strong technical and visual quality for the date, a fact further affirmed by CAC approval. The surfaces are smooth and original, showing attractive yellow-gold coloration with subtle deeper gold accents near the devices, and only light, even wear confined to the highest points. It is a compelling representative of the early Capped Bust quarter eagle type and likely one of the most affordable for the type.
