Condition Census 1825/4/2 Capped Bust Quarter 1825/4/2 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-5. AU-58 (NGC). CAC. Outstanding collector quality and a rare die pairing that is seldom offered, and tied with a select group as the second finest known of the variety. The toning is excellent too, with gunmetal-blue and russet spanning the obverse with more silver showing on the reverse in the open fields while the devices and lettering have a border of russet-gold on that side. Early die state before the crumbling appears on the 5 and the various overdates. No surface distractions, the strike is sharp and the toning elegant. A prize for the variety or date specialist who demands quality and eye appeal. PCGS# 38974. Provenance: From the Jules Reiver Collection, Heritage, 1/2006, lot 22402; our (ANR) auction of 9/2006, lot 281.
