Description
1815 B-1 Quarter, AU Sharpness
'E' Counterstamp, Eye Appeal Remains
1815 25C "E" Counterstamp, B-1, R.1 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC
Details. AU. The puzzling "E" counterstamp above Liberty's cap
has mystified numismatists for decades, and continues to do so to
this day. Counterstamp collectors will view this quarter as an
opportunity, since they are normally less concerned with the
condition of the host coin than obtaining a sharp example of the
countermark. They will have competition for the present example,
however, since the noted cleaning is minor. The coin displays an
overall glossiness rather than any overt hairlines or other
distractions. Pleasing purplish-umber toning remains at the margins
and surrounds the raised devices of this sharply defined,
still-lustrous quarter.From The Hamilton Collection, Part IV.
