Description

1821 Capped Bust Quarter, B-4, MS66
One Finer Coin at NGC

1821 25C MS66 NGC. B-4, R.3. Sharply detailed in most areas, this impressive Premium Gem shows the typical touch of softness on the eagle's claws and some stars. The well-preserved surfaces are blanketed in attractive shades of golden-brown and cerulean-blue toning, with satiny mint luster underneath.

Variety: This coin represents the B-4 variety, with star 7 pointing to the headband and a pair of die lines connecting the central olive leaf to the dentils. The obverse die was previously used to strike the B-3 variety of this date, while the reverse die was used to strike the B-2 and B-5 varieties of 1820.

Population Data (5/14): NGC has graded only three 1821 Capped Bust quarters in MS66, without regard to variety, with one finer, while PCGS has graded four specimens, also without regard for variety, with one finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1821 Capped Bust quarter claims a substantial mintage of 216,851 pieces, with six die varieties known for the date. Several dies from the previous year were used again in 1821, and it is likely that some 1820-dated coins were struck during 1821, as well. This delightful Premium Gem should fit comfortably in the Condition Census for the variety and we expect spirited competition from series enthusiasts when this lot is called.

Provenance: Purchased from Larry Whitlow (8/1998).(Registry values: P2)

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