Lot Description

Tompkins Die Stage 1/2, Rea et al. Die State a. As noted frequently in our catalogs, the Large Diameter Capped Bust quarter of 1815 to 1828 is challenging to collect in all grades. Few examples were produced, and attrition was high through commercial use and melting. Among moderately circulated survivors that we have offered in recent years, this boldly toned 1821 Browning-4 with steel-gray and russet surfaces presents far better than most. With plenty of detail remaining to the major design elements it would make a pleasing addition to a type set.
