Description
1831 Capped Bust Quarter, MS65
Popular Small Letters, B-4 Variety
1831 25C Small Letters, B-4, R.1, MS65 NGC. The 1831 Capped
Bust quarter claims a substantial mintage of 398,000 pieces, with
seven die varieties known for the date. Chief Engraver William
Kneass experimented with two different sized punches for the
reverse lettering, creating Small Letters and Large Letters
subtypes. The present coin represents the Small Letters B-4
variety, with star 13 close to the curl and a recut 5 in the
denomination on the reverse. The B-4 is an available variety in
most grades, but examples in MS65 condition are rare.The coin offered here is a spectacular Gem, with sharply detailed design elements in most areas and just a touch of softness on some star centers. The well-preserved surfaces retain much original mint luster, under light shades of silver-gray and lavender toning. Census: 26 in 65 (4 in 65 ★ ), 5 finer (11/15).
