1833 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle

Proof Mintage: 5
Obverse Text: 1833 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | E PLURIBUS UNUM | 2 ½ D.

Only five or six Proof 1833 quarter eagles exist. Walter Breen notes three pieces, and David Akers estimates five or six. A handful of auction records can be traced for the past half century, but there is a possibility that these may not represent all different coins. Apparently at least two known specimens are either "not too carefully handled" or "hairmarked," per Walter Breen.
