This 1808 quarter eagle has excellent eye appeal and exhibits full luster. It is one of only 2,710 pieces that were minted that year, and it is likely that all were from a single pair of dies. It has the usual die state with an obverse die crack through the rear peak of the cap, continuing over the cap to the left, and through all stars on the right.

At the Stack's auction in November of 2008, a MS 63 example of this date in a PCGS holder set a record price of $517,500.
