详细说明

1824/2 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. EF-40 (NGC). The only known die marriage of the issue, the reverse die of the 1824/2 Quarter was also used to strike the 1823 B-1, 1825 B-1 and 1828 B-2 varieties. This is a very scarce issue in all grades that becomes increasingly more difficult to collect as one approaches Mint State. A richly original and very appealing EF, the coin we offer here exhibits dominant lavender-charcoal patina to both sides. We do see reddish-rose, cobalt-blue and antique-gold highlights, especially at more direct angles. Free of worrisome abrasions, and well defined despite the presence of overall light wear.
