Description
1821 Quarter, MS66
B-4, Upper Condition Census Coin
1821 25C MS66 NGC. B-4, R.3. Mint records indicate 216,851
quarters were produced in 1821, but Steve Tompkins notes in
Early United States Quarters 1796-1838 that "due to the use
of 1820 dated dies, the total amount of 1821 dated coins is less
than the stated mintage would suggest." This example is remarkably
preserved for a coin nearly two centuries old, sharply struck with
no marks worthy of note. Bright, reflective fields are edged with
taupe patina that highlights silver centers on both sides.
Circulated early Capped Bust quarters are not plentiful, and Mint
State examples are rare. NGC has certified just four pieces as MS66
(not distinguished by variety or Prooflike status), and only one
coin is finer (9/12).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RM, PCGS# 5331, Greysheet# 5068)
