Description

1831 B-4 Quarter, MS65+
Small Letters Variant

1831 25C Small Letters, B-4, R.1, MS65+ PCGS. CAC. This early die state shows the "perfect" obverse with no trace of die rust. The reverse corresponds to Tompkins' Die State 2, showing the die crack from the rim through C2. As Tompkins notes, the B-4 is the most frequently encountered of the 1831 varieties, and it is "readily available in all grades." Apparently a relatively large number of high-grade examples were set aside at the time of issue as the Condition Census is extraordinarily high: (66, 66, 65, 65, 65, 65). The surfaces on this piece are highly lustrous and each side has intermingled shadings of gray, blue, and rose iridescence. The striking details are strong throughout, and there are no obvious or mentionable abrasions that might help trace the pedigree of this Gem quarter.
