Multicolored 1828 Gem Quarter, B-1

1828 25C MS65 NGC. B-1, R.1. The 1828 is the final issue in the large size Capped Bust quarter series. For this variety, star 1 is close to the bust. The denomination has a curl base 2 and a fancy top 5. The T's on the reverse are defective at the bottom right, as with all varieties of this year.
The present coin is toned in shades of deep green and gold on the lower two-thirds of the obverse, while the upper portions are light steel-gray. The patina is matched on the reverse, where the lower portion is lighter and the rest is deep blue, green, and russet. Flashy luster shines in the periphery. The strike is sharp save for Liberty's uppermost curls, and all of the stars have fully defined centrils.
Although B-1 is a common variety, the 1828 is rare in Gem condition and it is virtually impossible to locate in a higher grade. This piece is the perfect coin for the type collector who demands the utmost quality. Census for the issue: 3 in 65, 1 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P3)
