Description
1821 B-5 Quarter Dollar, MS64
Prooflike Surfaces
1821 25C MS64 PCGS. B-5, High R.4. Star 6 is recut, and that
is the only identification necessary for this scarce die marriage.
The obverse appeared only with a single reverse die to form the B-5
die marriage. Most examples of this die marriage also have a die
line from the lower drapery to the 1 in the date. Despite its
scarcity, a number of higher-grade examples are known, including
proofs. This specimen is tied for seventh finest, according to the
Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census published in Early Quarter
Dollars of the United States Mint. Proofs and circulation
strikes are known from this die pair.Both sides exhibit prooflike surfaces with noticeable cameo contrast. The strike is sharp and the surfaces host delightful gold, blue, and iridescent toning. It is possible that this was a proof strike.
