Description

Fascinating 1846 Seated Quarter, MS65
Briggs 2-D, Repunched Date, Die Cracks
One Finer for the Year at NGC

1846 25C MS65 NGC. Briggs 2-D. Recutting shows south of the original date on the 46, with the knob of the undertype 6 filling the space between the knob of the subsequent 6 and its inner top circle. The obverse also shows several wispy die cracks, and an interesting, extensive area of apparent die polishing to the right of and inside the right portion of the shield. On the reverse a long, spindly die crack runs through ITED STAT, to the top of E(S), to the base of OF AMER, upward through ICA to terminate at the rim above the last A. Besides the interesting two-sided variety-die state, this early Seated quarter is the sole Gem certified of this issue at NGC, with a single piece finer (3/11). The silver centers complement rim toning of copper-gold, with a dollop of blue thrown in on each side.(Registry values: P3)
