Description
1815 B-1 Quarter, MS66★
Rich, Attractive Toning and Excellent Luster
1815 25C B-1, R.1, MS66★ NGC. Tompkins Die State 4/2. The
only dies. U.S. quarter production dropped to 89,235 pieces in 1815
-- a low output compared to the most recent quarter mintage in
1807, when 220,643 pieces were struck. No more quarters were made
until 1815. Spanish American two reales pieces remained in
circulation and were more familiar to the public, although many of
those coins were well circulated and approaching attrition. Most of
the silver bullion for 1815 quarters was provided by the Planter's
Bank of New Orleans, which sent several kegs of Mexican 8 reales
worth about $14,400 dollars to the Mint, requesting that the entire
amount be struck into quarter dollars. Robert Julian notes
additional deliveries of 1815 quarters were made to the Bank of
Pennsylvania and to Jones, Firth & Co.Gunmetal-blue toning hugs the margins of this Premium Gem example, transitioning into purple and golden-brown. The entire color palette is somewhat more extensive on the reverse. The lustrous surfaces are sharply struck despite die clashing and have been well cared for. NGC's important Star designation confirms the exceptional eye appeal of this Condition Census 1815 quarter. This MS66★ early quarter is sure to find a home in a high-grade collection. NGC Census: 3 in 66 (2 in 66★ ), 2 finer (5/25).
