Description:

Notable Choice Proof B-4 1828 Quarter

1828 25C PR64 PCGS. B-4, R.3 as a business strike, R.7 as a proof. The Narrow Date variety with less space between the 82, relative to B-1 through B-3. An exquisite example of this very rare proof date. Richly toned in sea-green, plum-red, and tan-gold. Essentially fully struck, although the determined examiner with the aid of a loupe might locate one or two stars that lack absolute radial definition. Void of contact marks or hairlines, but a brief lintmark beneath star 6 provides an identifier that will confirm any future market appearances.
From perfect dies, as usual for Browning-4. Certified in an old green label holder. At the time of its 1990 auction appearance, the present piece was the only proof 1828 quarter certified by either NGC or PCGS. Population: 1 in 64, 1 finer (4/08).
The definition of what constitutes a proof has become more strict within past decades. Only a handful of 1828 quarters have been certified as proofs by the two leading grading services, NGC and PCGS.

1. PR64 PCGS. B-4. The present lot. Thomas S. Chalkley Collection (Superior, 10/1990), lot 2564, which realized $41,800.
