Lot Description

1818/5 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. Toned with a hazy-tan color that includes both russet and blue elements on the surfaces, and dull in appearance from a past bath in Clorox. The surfaces are clean and the strike is sharp enough, but the surfaces are masked by the patina. Always in demand for the overdate feature.
