Lot 492
1838 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-65 B-1. Lovely blue and golden toning. The surfaces are reflective. A vibrant and highly lustrous Gem whose rush of brilliance readily penetrates the attractive toning and shows this has exquisitely preserved surfaces. Struck with intricate precision throughout, while the surface has toned a delectable shade of steel-with-blue.
This intricately struck premium Gem has remarkably clean surfaces, and satin luster readily penetrates the attractive toning. Only 366,000 pieces are reported from a single die pair (possibly some of the reported delivery may have been dated 1837). The production of Seated Liberty quarter quarters began later in 1838. Pop 3; 3 in 66. In a new 4 prong NGC holder.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
The Mark Gordon Collection.
