Description
1818/5 Quarter, Lustrous MS64
B-3, Scarce Overdate Variety
1818/5 25C B-3, R.3, MS64 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 3/2. The
late die state with a light crack from the upper leaf tip to the U
in UNITED. In writing Early Quarters of the United States,
Steve Tompkins explains that the influx of Spanish 2 reales slowed
despite increasing demand for quarter-size coins, necessitating a
large production of federal quarters in 1818. A total of 361,174
pieces were struck using five obverse dies and seven reverse dies,
and 10 die marriages are known for the issue. B-3 and B-1 share the
same obverse die, but evidence of the underdigit 5 is more apparent
on B-1. Forest-green borders surround stone-gray interiors. This
well-struck representative displays coruscating luster and
minimally abraded fields. Liberty's cheekbone shows a few minuscule
ticks. Population for the variety: 1 in 64, 1 finer (6/15).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RH, Variety PCGS# 411648, Base PCGS# 5323, GSID# 212697)
