Lot Description

1824/2 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. VG-10 (PCGS). Pleasingly toned in light dove-gray with olive highlights in some of the protected areas bordering the devices. All known 1824 quarters are overdates of the B-1 die marriage. Federal records indicate a mintage of 168,000 quarters for calendar years 1824 and 1825 combined, with examples of the former year far rarer in numismatic hands. In fact, researchers believe that most of the coins that comprise this mintage were struck from 1825-dated dies, the actual mintage of the 1824-dated issue likely on the order of just 16,000 or so coins. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911. To view all items from the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911 click here.
