Description
Amazing 1815 B-1 Quarter, MS66
1815 25C MS66 PCGS. B-1, R.1. After an intermission of seven years, the Mint coined 69,232 quarters late in 1815, and another 20,003 from the same die pair early in 1816. The second delivery, dated January 10, 1816, also included all 47,150 1815-dated half dollars. The only other coins bearing the 1815 date were 635 half eagles that were delivered on November 3, 1815. Today, the half eagle is a classic rarity with only a few more than a dozen known.This Premium Gem quarter, with its entirely brilliant silver surfaces and frosty luster, ranks among the five or six finest known of the date. Although lightly clash marked, there is no evidence of die lapping, placing this piece in an early die state, and almost guaranteeing that it was one of the first delivery, actually minted in 1815. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).
