Description

1818 B-2 Quarter, MS65
Rarely Seen Finer

1818 25C B-2, R.1, MS65 NGC. Tompkins Die State 2/1. The 1818 is among the most plentiful large size Capped Bust quarters in Mint State, ideal for type representation. Yet, Gem-quality examples are seldom seen, and anything finer is rare. This piece is essentially untoned with frosty luster and bold design elements. The obverse is cracked along the upper-right periphery, but neither die is yet clashed in this moderately early state. A few faint marks on Liberty's cheek are all that preclude an even finer designation. Due to the extreme rarity of higher-grade examples, many of the MS65 coins reported by the grading services may reflect resubmissions and not actual coins. Census (all varieties included): 27 in 65, 14 finer (12/15).
