Description du lot

1818/5 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-2. MS-64 (PCGS). Soft silver gray luster on both sides with attractive golden-brown toning accents. On the obverse, this toning increases in depth somewhat toward 4 o'clock, while the reverse is quite uniform in this respect. Nicely struck, with full radial lines and centers in the obverse stars and full denticles on both sides. The central details are likewise sharp with good definition in the hair curls and eagle's feathers. A nice example of the type overall, and always desirable as an overdate variety, which on this example is easily detected with the aid of a loupe. PCGS# 5323. PCGS Population: 21; 15 finer (MS-66 finest). Provenance: From our (Stack's) Orlando Sale of January 2007, lot 484.
