1842 Large Date Quarter, MS64
Rarely Seen in High Grades

1842 25C Large Date MS64 PCGS. Briggs 2-B. The choice is limited for the collector of 1842 quarters. The only other date variety is a Small Date, and only six pieces are known of that issue. Very few high-grade Large Date quarters are known either, as one might expect from the earliness of this issue -- few collectors were actively pursuing U.S. coins in 1842. This is the scarcer of the two varieties known of the Large Date quarter, this variety showing repunching on the 8 in the date and vertical line 4 extending upward into line 4. The fields display slight flashiness through the deep layers of reddish patina in the centers and dusky blue at the margins. Population: 3 in 64, 0 finer (7/13).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22DY, PCGS# 5401, Greysheet# 5112)

Weight: 6.68 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
