Description
The 1806 Capped Bust to Right Quarter Eagle - 1806/4 Stars 8x5 is a Gold Quarter Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Capped Bust to Right Quarter Eagles 1796-1807 series. With a mintage of 1,136, this is a scarce issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 70% of production. 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). Multiple die varieties exist. Among the final dates of the type before another production hiatus. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $9.6K to $110K 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 #7654.
