- Deep orange-gold color with blushes of reddish-rose iridescence further enhancing the eye appeal. This specimen is softly struck in the centers, typical of the issue, and further exacerbated by a concentration of light adjustment marks (as made) within the tresses of hair behind Liberty's cheek and forehead. A pin scratch on the reverse that diagonally bisects the shield is mentioned for accuracy. With blushes of original frosty luster very much in evidence, this is a wholesome EF example of a scarce and challenging early gold design type. BD Die State b/b.<p>A difficult coin to find in any grade at all, as only 75 to 90 examples exist today from the mintage of just 1,136 pieces (this estimate per John W. Dannreuther, 2006). The rarity of this particular variety should be put into perspective, for it is actually one of the more available in the Capped Bust Right quarter eagle series, all of which are rare by any numismatic standard. Few collectors will have the opportunity to own one at any level of preservation, which realization underscores the significance of this offering.
