Early Quarter Eagles
1804 $2 1/2 14 Stars Reverse, BD-2, R.4, XF40 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. With only 20 or so examples of the 1804 13 Stars Reverse quarter eagle extant, this variety stands as the only widely accessible type for the year. John Dannreuther suggests a population of 150 to 200 1804 BD-2 quarter eagles from an estimated mintage of 2,324 to 2,827 coins. What makes the variety interesting is the presence of the extra reverse star, which despite being inadvertent, did not stop Mint personnel from employing it in the production of these two and a half dollar pieces, and also later for a scarce variety of 1804-dated dimes (JR-2). This XF40 offering presents well-defined orange-gold surfaces with numerous adjustment marks across the central reverse and along the edges. Few obvious abrasions.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2020), lot 5151.
