Losbeschreibung

Premium Choice Mint State 1836 B-3 Quarter 1836 Capped Bust Quarter. B-3. Rarity-1. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. The lustrous fields and rich golden-gray toning offer exceptional quality and eye appeal. The strike is absolute and full, with each star, curl, eagle feather and shield line crisply defined. Furthermore both the obverse and reverse die are shattered with numerous complex die cracks, generally thin in nature but adding considerably to the historic charm of this important offering. PCGS has seen one example of this date that earned the Gem grade, but this is the only piece to have earned the MS-64+ designation from that service. Certainly high in the Condition Census for the variety, and likely the finest known of the die pairing. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers What a lovely coin this is -- ideal for a date or variety collector as well as anyone assembling a high grade type set of early American coinage designs. PCGS# 5355. PCGS Population: 1; 1 finer (MS-65 finest) in all designations.
