Description

1818 B-2 Quarter, MS64
Near-Terminal Die State

1818 25C B-2, R.1, MS64 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 5/4. Both sides of this Browning-2 variety show prominent die cracks and heavy die clashing. Spanish-American two reales pieces were less prominent in U.S. commerce than before, creating a need for quarters after a two-year respite from mintage. More than 361,000 Bust quarters were struck in 1818 from a total of 10 die marriages. This is a colorfully toned B-2 example, with a sharp strike despite its late die state. Lustrous, concentric shades of pale-blue and peach-gold encircle each side. Population (all varieties combined): 50 in 64, 29 finer (2/21).
