PCGS 1825 MS 66. B-2, R.2. Actually an 1825/4/3, this is an earlier die state and it actually shows remnants of both of the earlier underdigits. The condition of this coin is uncommonly high. Bust quarters in mint state have remained one of the best kept secrets among 19th century type coins for years. But it is no secret to anyone how rare this type is in grades above MS 65. When the populations of MS 66 quarters of this type are combined from both PCGS and NGC, the total is a paltry 10 pieces with 1 MS 67.
This coin is completely brilliant, the luster scintillates and rolls around the surfaces in a way that reminds us of a high grade 1878 three-dollar gold piece or the frost on an 1880-S dollar. The quality is simply staggering. The striking details are strongly brought up in all areas, and there is only the faintest evidence of coin-to-coin contact and that is strictly limited to the face of Liberty. A must-see coin for anyone interested in high grade 19th century U.S. type. Population: 2 in 66, none are finer (6/94).
