Description
Exceptional 1821 Bust Quarter
B-4, MS66 Prooflike
1821 25C MS66 Prooflike 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. Reflective fields are edged with taupe
patina that highlights silver centers on both sides. Circulated
early Capped Bust quarters are not plentiful, but Mint State
examples are rare. NGC has certified just four pieces as MS66 (not
distinguishing by variety or Prooflike status), and only one finer
(9/08).From The Scott Rudolph Collection.
