Description
1815 MS 63. B-1b, R.1. The date, 1815, carries a certain cachet with it that few other dates can rival. Not only is it the first year of issue of the new Capped Bust type, but after the almost 90,000 quarters were struck of this date, a fire broke out in one of the mint's outbuildings, ruining the rolling mills and blank cutters. No more silver or gold coins were produced in the mint until late 1817. This coin has uncommonly good luster for the grade. It sparkles across the surfaces and is not diminished in the least by the light gray patina that is gently draped across both sides. The fields appear to be somewhat reflective, another uncommon trait. The grade of the coin is derived mainly from the numerous tiny contact marks seen mostly on the obverse.
