Lot Description

1828 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-1. MS-64 (PCGS). This beautiful coin will be ideal for type set purposes, as it is not a rare die type, or as a particularly Choice example for the quarter dollar specialist. Intermingled pewter-gray, gold, violet-brown, and blue toning. Boldly struck in virtually all areas including the obverse stars, Liberty's drapery and tresses, the eagle's plumage and talons, and all of the vertical and horizontal elements in the shield. The Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census for the variety (14 specimens) includes pieces ranging from MS-65 down to MS-63. Among the finest specimens of the variety we've had the opportunity to offer in recent years. PCGS# 5342.
