1818/5 Capped Bust Quarter, B-1, MS64+
Very Rare Any Finer

1818/5 25C B-1, R.2, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. This late die state example has a heavy vertical die crack on the reverse, as well as other cracks, clash marks, and flow lines. Following the War of 1812 and the January 1816 fire that destroyed important equipment at the Philadelphia Mint, coinage production finally returned to normal by 1818. The copper cents of 1816 and 1817, and the half dollars dated 1817 were the only coins made during those two years. Quarter dollars and half eagles reappeared in 1818. This Choice Mint State piece has frosty antique-silver luster and lovely gold toning. The design motifs are bold. An exceptionally attractive Capped Bust quarter. Population: 2 in 64 (1 in 64+), 2 finer (6/16).
