Lot 888
1815 "E" Stamp B-1. NGC graded AU-55. Lightly toned with deep gray and rose gold and well struck. The fields show some reflection. Clean surfaces and quite pleasing for this first year of the new style for the quarter denomination. A really pleasing example of this tough issue, with the enigmatic "E" countermark just touching Liberty's cap. These countermarked coins, all dated 1815 and 1825, have been widely studied by generations of numismatists, but no one has yet found any difinative proof as to what these letters stood for. Estimate Value $2,400 - 2,500
