1820 Large 0 Quarter, MS65+
Lustrous High-End Surfaces, CAC
B-2, Condition Census Coin

1820 25C Large 0, B-2, R.2, MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The year 1820 was one in which the Mint used a large assortment of letter and numeral punches for die preparation regardless of denomination, as well as dies overdated from earlier years. The quarters of 1820 saw Small 0 and Large 0 variants, as well as Tall and Wide 0 numerals. All 1820 quarters show a curl base 2 in the date, yet a square base 2 for the denomination.

This Plus-graded Gem 1820 quarter resides high in the Condition Census for the B-2 variety. Complete mint luster radiates from each side over surfaces that show olive, lilac, and amber hues deepening in intensity around the protected device edges. It takes a loupe to see a few scattered, trivial marks. The strike is a bit soft on the eagle's claws, but marvelous eye appeal more than compensates. CAC endorsement adds to this coin's considerable credentials, augmented by a strong pedigree.
