1815 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. . Browning-1. NGC graded MS-65. NGC holder 566086-001. Lovely blue and gold toning. A frosty gem with nice original toning.

The satiny toned surfaces are afire with bright volatile cartwheel luster underneath the pinkish lavender and blue-gray patina, luster that looks as though it would like nothing better than to express its eagerness to please with a loud explosion. Well struck for the date and easily matching or surpassing the few others in this superlative condition. Only 89,235 minted. Pop 5; 5 finer at NGC.
The capped bust left design with large diameter of 1815-28, was designed by John Reich All were coined at Philadelphia from a single pair of dies.
