Description

1820 Small 0 Quarter, MS66
Among the Finest Known B-4 Examples
Ex: Eliasberg-Gardner

1820 25C Small 0, B-4, R.2, MS66 NGC. Tompkins Die State 2/2. Early quarter dollars share much with early half dollars in terms of devotion to the series and attention to the nuances of varieties. Quarter enthusiasts cut their teeth on John Haseltine's Type Table, which identified the present variety in 1881, and Ard W. Browning, who formalized the B-4 characteristics as well as all other attributions for this series in The Early Quarter Dollars of the United States (published in 1925). Current quarter dollar collectors have two excellent references that provide timely and comprehensive information: Early United States Quarters 1796-1838 by Steve M. Tompkins, and Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint by Rory R. Rea, Dr. Glenn Peterson, Bradley S. Karoleff and John J. Kovach Jr. The exceptional 1820 Premium Gem quarter offered here will delight any Bust quarter collector from any generation.

Original, coin-gray surfaces give way to a multitude of color in the protected areas. Liberty is outlined by shades of gold and russet, and the date and stars exhibit a similar effect. Tan hues outline the reverse eagle, while aqua and gold are seen at the reverse rims. This is an outstanding example of early 19th century U.S. coinage combining pedigree, high technical grade, and strong eye appeal. The B-4 variety is confirmed by a Small 0 in the date, small obverse stars, and die pitting to the left of 2 in the date. Census: 4 in 66 (2 in 66+), 0 finer (7/22).
