Description
The 1802 Capped Bust to Right Quarter Eagle - 2/1, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the Capped Bust to Right Quarter Eagles 1796-1807 collection. With a mintage of 3,035, this is a less common issue. The obverse features Liberty facing right wearing a cloth cap (pileus) and the reverse displays a small, naturalistic eagle perched on a palm branch within a wreath (through 1798) or a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM (1804-1807). After a production gap (1799-1801), quarter eagles resumed with a modest mintage using the heraldic eagle reverse. Estimated market value ranges from $6.6K to $40K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 91.7% gold, 8.3% copper, weighing 4.37 grams, 20 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7650.
