<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26469623, member: 101855&quot;]With a mintage of only 2,710, the 1808 quarter eagle, which is a one year type coin, is one of the most desirable U.S. coins. According to PCGS CoinFacts there are 132 survivors. </p><p><br /></p><p>The mintage was made from one die pair which were cut by John Reich. There would not be any more orders for the rest of Reich&#039;s tenure at the mint. Like many of Reich&#039;s dies, the 13th star has a notch cut into one of the arms. This piece was graded by PCGS as an AU-50. It is in an old greeen label holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1687968[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1687969[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1808 quarter eagle was the first year for the Indian type. This coin always had a flat spot at the top of the eagle&#039;s wing on the reverse. Since that is a grading point, sometimes you find this date conservatively graded. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this piece from a dealer friend who was planning to crack it out in search of a higher grade. I probably over paid because of that, but I liked the coin. It is PCGS graded MS-64. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1687970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
