PCGS 1818 MS 65. A rare gem survivor of the Large Size Bust quarter type. Very few mint state pieces have survived of this type, this lovely example is mostly brilliant but does show a pronounced russet patina around the rims.
Formerly sold as lot 54 of the Arnell Collection (Stack's, 1/67), where it was described as, "Brilliant Uncirculated gem. A superb strike with full mint lustre, "cartwheel effect." Lacking in the Gardner sale. The Pierce specimen was only About Uncirculated. This prize is surely worth double the Guidebook valuation of $275." It almost was, realizing an even $500 in that sale from 27 years ago. Worth more than ten times that amount today. From the Faraday collection.
