Description
1824/2 Quarter, B-1, VF30
Eye-Appealing for the Grade
1824/2 25C B-1, R.3, VF30 PCGS. The sole die pair known for
the year, the B-1 quarter was overdated 1824 over an earlier unused
1822 obverse die. This die could have been among the last produced
by Mint Engraver Robert Scot, who died on Nov. 1, 1823, or one of
the first produced by contract engraver Christian Gobrecht,
according to the Steve Tompkins reference, where he theorizes that
the 1824/2 quarters may have been the delivery of December 31,
1823. (William Kneass was hired as chief engraver on January 29,
1824.) The surfaces are a melange of dusky rose, gold, pink, slate,
and steel-blue, with scattered marks on each side and contact marks
consistent with the grade. More eye appeal is present than might be
surmised from the grade.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RR, Variety PCGS# 38972, Base PCGS# 5335, Greysheet# 375302)
