Richly Toned 1818 B-3 Quarter, MS66

1818 25C MS66 NGC. Ex: Foxfire. B-3, R.2. Die State II. Technically, B-3 is an overdate variety as it employs the same obverse die of B-1, the 1818/5 quarter. However, since traces of the overdate are rarely visible on B-3 it is generally collected as a normal date. Owing to the incredible state of preservation of this example, remnants of the 5 are still visible on the raised portions of the final 8 in the date. The current coin is well struck with only slight weakness observed on the eagle's left wing (facing), which is actually one diagnostic of the variety. Attractive electric-blue and russet toning, especially at the peripheries, adorns the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem Bust quarter. Census: 12 in 66, 1 finer (1/08).
