Description

1818 B-3 Quarter, MS65
Early Die State

1818 25C MS65 NGC. B-3, R.3. The early die state of B-3 still shows traces of the 5 beneath the 8, and on the top surface of that digit, the obverse die reused from its first use for the 1818/5 overdate. The reverse has minor clash marks, and a prominent crack through the lower arrow head, nearly reaching the eagle feathers at the lower right side of the shield.
This lovely Gem is tied for the eighth finest known B-3 quarter. The present coin is a satiny Gem that displays dove-gray, slate, and gunmetal-blue shades, with the deepest toning near the rims and in design recesses. Well struck at the borders, although the centers show minor inexactness near the neck curls and the junction of the left (facing) wing. The reverse is faintly clashed (as made) above the eagle's head. No marks are visible aside from a small tick on the cheekbone. An important representative of this moderately scarce Browning marriage.
