Lot Description

1818 Capped Bust Quarter. B-9. Rarity-5-. Fine-15 (NGC). A boldly and originally toned example of the rarest die marriage of the 1818 Capped Bust quarter. Dominant charcoal-gray patina to both sides, the coin further revealing vivid cobalt blue, lilac, pink and reddish-gold undertones at direct lighting angles. All devices are fully outlined and readily appreciable, and the surfaces are uncommonly smooth for having seen this extensive circulation. Sure to catch the eye of dedicated early quarter variety collectors. PCGS# 38950. NGC ID: 23RH. Click here for certification details from NGC.
