Description
Extraordinary 1815 Quarter
B-1, MS67
The Finest Certified
1815 25C MS67 NGC. B-1, R.1. Die State II. Only one variety
is known of this important date. The mintage comprised 69,232
pieces delivered December 16 of 1815 per warrant # 732, and 20,003
coins delivered January 10, 1816 per warrant # 733. All coins in
the first warrant were delivered to the Planters Bank in New
Orleans (Steve Tompkins, Early United State Quarters, 2008,
p. 70). Tompkins goes on to say that: "The coins contained in
warrant 733 were most likely delivered to the Bank of the United
States in Philadelphia." This latter point is questionable, as the
First Bank of the United States ceased operation in 1811 when
Congress refused to renew its charter. The Second Bank of the
United States was not chartered by Congress until early 1816. Were
the warrant 733 quarters delivered to some other Philadelphia bank,
perhaps the Bank of Pennsylvania or the Bank of Philadelphia?This is the finest example known of this popular and widely collected date. As a Die State II coin the fields show evidence of die clashing. However, aside from these light clash marks, the impeccably preserved surfaces reveal virtually nothing that interrupts the flow of the thick, frosted mint luster that covers each side. Both obverse and reverse are deeply patinated with gray, gold, and emerald-green centers that are surrounded by deep scarlet-gray, forest-green, and gunmetal-blue toning around the margins. The striking definition is strong throughout with even pressure applied to all the design elements. An extraordinary coin and a singular opportunity for the type or date collector.
