1832 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle. BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Unc Details--Cleaned (NGC).，This is an uncommonly attractive coin for the assigned grade that is worthy of serious bidder consideration. Handsome deep gold surfaces are warmly and evenly patinated, the strike bold to sharp throughout the design. Evidence for the stated qualifier is minimal, and only upon closer inspection do we note a few wispy hairlines that are easily overlooked at most viewing angles. Plenty of satiny mint luster remains to further enhance this coins appeal. BD Die State a/c.<p>As with all pre-1834 quarter eagles, the 1832 represents a significant find at all levels of preservation. The original mintage is a scant 4,400 pieces, there being little call for coins of this denomination among contemporary gold bullion depositors. With the vast majority of examples struck falling prey to melting, it should come as no surprise to read that most numismatic scholars accept an estimate of just 80 to 100 coins extant in all grades. Here, then, is an important coin that is likely to be of greatest interest to budget minded gold type collectors seeking an example of the challenging Capped Head Left, Reduced Diameter quarter eagle.，，
