Description

Untoned MS65 1818 Quarter, B-3
A Rare and Overlooked Type Coin

1818 25C MS65 NGC. B-3, R.3. The repeating date is equally and widely spaced, and the last 8 is uncentered (right of) the lowest hair curl. Both 1s in the date have broken feet at their left sides. This is technically the 1818/5 overdate die from the B-1 die marriage, but reground so that the traces of the 5 no longer show.
On this piece there is visible die clashing on both sides. The coin is essentially brilliant, displaying just a bit of peripheral color. The surfaces are thickly coated in superb mint frost and show generous luster that is seldom seen on early type coins. The strike is full throughout, save for minor weakness on Liberty's highest hair curls. There are no mentionable abrasions. A wonderful type coin or representative of this available variety. For the date, Census: 26 in 65, 13 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
