Description

1832 B-2 Quarter, MS65
Solid Condition Census Coin

1832 25C B-2, R.2, MS65 NGC. The 1832 is the scarcest Capped Bust quarter issue overall from the 1830s, and it is one of the rarest in Mint State. The typical piece grades only in the VF to XF range, and AU examples are seldom seen. Mint State pieces are evenly distributed across the MS60 to MS64 grade span, but the population drops off sharply at the Gem grade level.

This Gem example is richly frosted and lustrous beneath a blanket of dusky, lavender-gray toning that yields wisps of gold and lilac. The strike is bold and the surfaces are carefully preserved. An impressive date or type representative, the present coin represents one of only two examples in MS65 at NGC, with one MS66 piece numerically finer; PCGS has similarly seen only three Gems, including one piece in MS65+ (11/17).
