Gem B-3 1818 Bust Quarter

1818 25C MS65 NGC. B-3, R.3. B-3 is struck from the same obverse die as the 1818/5 B-1, but the die was lapped prior to the B-3 coinage, removing evidence of the 5 underdigit and weakening the bases of the 1s. 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.
