Lot Description

1818 Capped Bust Quarter. B-9. Rarity-5-. VF-20 (PCGS). A handsome example of this early quarter rarity with dove grey hues across the high points and darker slate and olive patina surrounding in the fields. Smooth and lightly glossy, the surfaces are well composed with no significant abrasions. Uniformly bold and struck from an early obverse die state before the dramatic clashing appears above Liberty's cap. The Browning-9 variety is the rarest of the 1818 die pairings and is challenging to locate above Fine condition. The present offering surely represents a significant opportunity for specialists. PCGS# 38950. NGC ID: 23RH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
