This is a PCGS graded coin and you will receive the pictured coin. You are Buying a 1827 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle graded MS-61 by PCGS, BD-1, R.5. This coin exhibits bright yellow-gold surfaces with subtle reflectivity in the fields on each side. The border stars are well defined, although the central devices show minor high-point strike softness, as is typical of the issue. BD-1 is the only variety known for the 1827 quarter eagle. The Guide Book mintage of 2,800 coins is the maximum number of pieces potentially struck; a lower mintage might also be correct, as some of the 1826-dated coins may have been produced in 1827. In Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, John Dannreuther puts the 1827's mintage in a range from 1,750 to 2,800 pieces. Just 45 to 55 coins are believed to survive. In Mint State condition, this coin is a true rarity. This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.
