Gorgeous Gem 1821 B-3 Quarter

1821 25C MS65 PCGS. B-3, R.2. Possibly the terminal die state, this piece shows prominent clash marks at star 8 and a heavy die crack through star 12 to the curls and neck. Light die rust is visible left of the 2 in the denomination. Both sides are highly lustrous with satiny surfaces beneath splendid sea-green, russet, and lilac toning on both sides. A fully original and highly attractive representative, this Gem is probably tied for the finest known of the variety, and is likely the finest known of the late die state. The illustration of the late die state in Steve Tompkins' reference is a noticeably worn example that probably only grades VF to XF. The present specimen will serve as a nice replacement for that coin in future quarter references. Population: 6 in 65, 5 finer (11/10) for all 1821 varieties.(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RM, PCGS# 5331, Greysheet# 5068)
