Description
1825/4 Quarter Dollar, B-2, MS66
Outstanding Example
Condition Census Quality
1825/4/(2) 25C B-2, R.2, MS66 PCGS. CAC. A stunning Premium
Gem example of the B-2, this piece is lightly toned in lovely
shades of almond-gold and silvery-beige. The surfaces are
well-struck, intensely lustrous, and exquisitely preserved.Variety: 1825/4, B-2, R.2. The most common of the three overdate varieties known for the year, now acknowledged to all be 1825/4/2, overdated in the same sequence. Designated as 1825/4/3 on the PCGS holder. The Guide Book lists the same variety as 1825/4, and star 13 points lower down on the curls than on B-1. The obverse die was used to strike the B-2 pairing, then lapped to strike the B-3 coins. The B-2 must not be confused with the rare B-1 1825/2. The 5 on the B-2 appears to have remains of a 4 underneath. The reverse of the B-2 shows the 25C denomination about centered between the eagle and rim, slightly closer to the eagle.
Population Data (7/14): NGC and PCGS have each graded three examples of this date (not broken down by die variety) at MS66. PCGS has seen one example finer at MS67, while MS66 remains the top grade at NGC.
Heritage Commentary: The present MS66 example of the B-2, while the most available die pairing for the year, is certainly well within the Condition Census both for the year overall and for the B-2 variety. The Newman Collection example was certified MS63+ NGC, bringing $7,637.50 (Heritage, 11/2013), lot 33345. MS66 PCGS is the top grade in the Condition Census in Early Quarter Dollars, an unplated coin that we offered in our ANA auction in June 1994, lot 6508. The description sounds similar to this piece ...
Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (8/2002).
