1832 $2.5 MS62 PCGS CAC

Tied For Finest at CAC and traced back to 1882, this 1832 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle is among the most technically refined and conditionally challenging issues of the early United States gold series. Struck as a Small Diameter issue, the year saw a modest mintage of just 4,400 pieces, all produced from a single die marriage with an estimated 122 today in all grades. The coin is further distinguished by Garrett provenance, as noted directly on the holder, and is attributed as Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/c. It originates from The Early Aurum Collection and stands as a notable Mint State survivor of this historically important issue. Beyond this MS62, there is 1 in MS62+, 1 in MS63 and 1 in MS65. The surfaces exhibit deeply attractive rich honey-gold, transitioning into deeper amber and olive hues toward the peripheries. Seldom encountered at this Mint State level, the 1832 quarter eagle is a challenging early gold issue in high technical condition. This example combines strong eye appeal, sound preservation, important provenance, and a well-deserved CAC endorsement. Overall, this is an excellent and visually compelling specimen of the 1832 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle, ideally suited for an advanced early gold collection or a high-quality type set.
