Description

1820 Large 0 Quarter, MS65+
B-2, Gem Bust Type Coin

1820 25C Large 0, B-2, R.2, MS65+ NGC. Tompkins Die State 1/1. B-2 is typically attributed by the bold die line from a leaftip to the rim. The reverse is shared with the very scarce B-5, but on that variety star 7 is much higher, and points to the cap instead of the forehead curl. Light to medium chestnut-gold toning visits this smooth and lustrous Gem. The strike is sharp except on the eagle's claws. Among the finest 1820 Browning-2 quarters. Our online auction archives indicate only three appearances of higher graded examples in a Heritage auction: an MS66★ NGC coin in our November 2013 Eric P. Newman Collection, Part III Signature; an MS66 PCGS piece in our August 2015 Chicago ANA Signature; and an MS66 PCGS CAC example in our October 2015 Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part IV Signature.
