Lot Description

1820 Capped Bust Quarter. B-4. Rarity-2. Small 0. AU-55 (NGC). CAC. OH. Originally and attractively toned from years spent in a numismatic holder, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable type candidate from the Large Diameter Capped Bust quarter series at the Choice AU grade level. Bathed in a blend of dominant steel and pewter gray patina, both sides reveal exquisite iridescent undertones of cobalt blue, antique gold and pale rose as the coin dips into a light. Nearly full satin luster is noted, as are design elements that are boldly defined overall. Thoroughly PQ for the type, issue and die pairing, and worthy of the strongest bids. PCGS# 5328.
