Description
1815 Quarter, MS61
Browning-1, 'E' Counterstamp
1815 25C "E" Counterstamp, B-1, R.1, MS61 NGC. Tompkins Die
State 2/2. Like many of the "E" counterstamped pieces, this one is
in Mint State with faint blue accents over the lustrous,
reddish-gold toning. Karl Moulton made the interesting observation
that the "E" above Liberty's cap roughly corresponds to the
position of E in LIBERTY seen on quarters dated 1796 to 1807.
Likewise, the position of the "L" on L-stamped quarters
approximates the position of L in LIBERTY on early-date quarters,
in the open field just past star 7. This is a sharp and attractive
example of the frequently seen "E" on an 1815 quarter. The position
of the counterstamp is significant as one indication that the marks
may have been applied at the Philadelphia Mint.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RG, Variety PCGS# 38942, Base PCGS# 5321, GSID# 393311)
