Description
1822 Quarter, B-1, Toned MS62
More Available of Two Varieties for the Year
1822 25C B-1, R.2, MS62 PCGS. CAC. Rose centers on each side
transition into deep violet, mauve, and aqua patina nearer the rims
on this attractive early quarter. A few stray contact marks on the
profile of Liberty are grade-consistent but not terribly overt. The
strike is weak on several of the star centers and on the eagle's
claws on the reverse, but more than acceptable elsewhere.Variety: B-1, R.2. One of only two varieties for the year, the other being the B-2 with the famous and rare 25/50 reverse. The two varieties share the 1822-dated obverse die.
Population Data (9/15): For the year 1822, PCGS reports nine submitted in MS62 and 10 finer. NGC shows five in MS62 and 11 finer, as well as four Prooflike Mint State submissions from MS61 to MS63.
Heritage Commentary: Only 64,080 quarters were struck in 1822, and given the far-greater rarity of the 1822 B-2 25/50 quarters, most of the mintage appears to have been the B-1 Normal Date quarters.
Provenance: Queller and Family Sale (Stack's, 3/1997), lot 409.
