1821 $2.50 NGC AU58
Mintage: 6,448
BD-1, Rarity-5. After a thirteen year hiatus, production of this denomination resumed in 1821. The new Capped Bust Left type, by Robert Scot, was struck with interruptions until 1827 when it was modified by William Kneass. The mintage figure for the 1821 is a reported 6,448 although given this issue's rarity it is possible that this figure includes coins dated 1824. There are around four to five dozen known with most in circulated grades. Unlike many of the later date quarter eagles of this design, the 1821 saw circulation.
