Early Quarter Eagles
1825 $2 1/2 BD-2, High R.4 -- Scratched -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a, with no discernible cracks or die bulges. BD-2 is the only one of the three 1825 quarter eagle varieties that is considered readily collectible, although even this issue is scarce with only 80 to 100 pieces believed known. The present example shows a diagonal scratch across the reverse from 11 to 5 o'clock, and the bright yellow-gold surfaces exhibit characteristics of cleaning. Scattered abrasions are otherwise typical of the issue and grade, and the design elements show good definition.
