Description
1831 Quarter Dollar, AU50
B-2, Flip-Over Double Struck
1831 25C B-2, R.2, Small Letters -- Flip-Over Double Struck --
AU50 NGC. Tompkins Die State 2/2. An apparently unique Mint
error within the Capped Bust series. This remarkable coin was
undoubtedly one of John McCloskey's favorites. While the initial
strike was eliminated to a large extent by a strong second strike,
the flip-over double strike is clearly visible under magnification.
Remnants of the initial strike include shield lines across
Liberty's cheek, and other anomalies in the obverse fields. The
reverse shows the bold outline of Liberty's lower curls between the
eagle's beak and wing shoulder, and Liberty's profile ghosted in
the open reverse fields. The coin is struck from lapped dies that
characterize a middle die state, with original grayish-blue toning
and solid About Uncirculated definition. This exact coin is
discussed in Early United States Quarters by Steve M.
