Description

1820 Small 0 Bust Quarter, MS65
Second-Finest-Known B-4 Example

1820 25C Small 0, B-4, R.2, MS65 NGC. Tompkins Die State 2/2, with slight die rust in the field to the left of the denomination. Mint State examples of B-4 are rare, and most are in the lower numeric grades for the Mint State tier. A single proof piece is known from these dies in PR64, but the finest circulation strike is the Gardner MS66 coin. The present example is the second finest circulation strike according to the Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census. The coin has a moderately prooflike obverse and shimmering cartwheel luster across the reverse. Light gold toning illuminates the borders. A tiny spot is concealed near the left edge of the left (facing) wing, but this sharply struck piece is otherwise smooth and attractive. Census (all Small 0 varieties): 2 in 65, 3 finer (11/22).
