Description
Appealing 1822 25/50C Quarter, VG10
Rare B-2 Variety
1822 25C 25/50C VG10 PCGS. B-2, R.5. CAC. The 1822
"blundered reverse" variety is a spectacular die-cutting error
where the engraver mistakenly entered the denomination as 50C, then
corrected his mistake. The B-2 die marriage is rare and will be
difficult to acquire in any grade.Medium-gray patination in the fields of this Choice VG example highlight the lighter-gray design features, a bit more so on the obverse. LIBERTY is bold, and part of the ear, eye, and clasp show, as do some of the hair curls. Most of the letters in the reverse motto are clear, as are the shield lines. About two-thirds of the eagle's plumage is defined. Great overall eye appeal for a heavily circulated coin, aptly recognized by CAC. Population: 2 in 10, 8 finer (11/10).(Registry values: P6)
Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 5333, Greysheet# 5071)
