Major Rarity: 1828 Capped Bust Quarter, MS65 from the Pogue Collection

From the esteemed Pogue collection, this 1828 Capped Bust Quarter is a remarkable gem and a cornerstone of 19th-century silver type coins. As the final year of the “large size” Capped Bust design, it holds significant historical value and is an important addition for any serious collector.

Graded MS65 by PCGS, this coin is one of only five examples in this grade over the past 37 years, with just two graded higher. The surfaces are pristine, exhibiting incredible eye appeal highlighted by beautiful deep rainbow toning. What truly sets this coin apart is its extraordinary strike—every detail of the design is razor sharp, showcasing a quality so impressive that it could easily be mistaken for a proof by dealers of a century ago.

The Pogue collection is renowned for being the finest assembly of early Federal coins (1792-1840) ever put together. Brent Pogue and his father meticulously acquired the best of the best over more than 30 years, ensuring only the most exceptional pieces were included. If this 1828 quarter made it into their collection, you can be confident that it was deemed the finest available on the market in the last three decades. This stunning coin not only represents a significant piece of American numismatic history but also offers a unique investment opportunity for collectors.
