Description
1833 B-2 Quarter, MS64
Repunched Reverse Legend
Guide Book Variety
1833 25C B-2, FS-901, R.2, MS64 PCGS. Tompkins Die State
2/1. This well-known Cherrypickers' variety represents one
of two 1833 die marriages that were used to strike 156,000 coins
for the year. The diesinker entered parts of the reverse legend too
far left, then partially effaced the mistake before entering the
letters correctly. The blunder is clear on this near-Gem example,
which is bathed in plum and sea-green shades throughout the
obverse, with electric-blue and aquamarine toning on the reverse.
As always seen, scattered patches of obverse die rust are seen.
Boldly die clashed "ear bars" confirm a mid-to-late obverse die
state, while the reverse die state is sharply struck from the
"perfect" die. Population (both varieties combined): 7 in 64 (1 in
64+), 4 finer (3/21).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RY, Variety PCGS# 38990, Base PCGS# 5352, GSID# 212964)
