Description

1834 B-4 Quarter, MS66
Marvelous Patina and Preservation

1834 25C B-4, R.1, MS66 NGC. A profusion of silver, gold, violet, mauve, and lavender tinged with jade further enlivens lustrous surfaces that are extremely well-preserved and equally well-struck. A loupe is needed to observe tiny ticks on Liberty's cheek, but the top-notch strike and superb eye appeal more than compensate.

Variety: B-4, R.1. The left edge of the curl is over the left side of the 4. The eagle has no tongue, and the second T in STATES is low. Extensive die cracks encircle portions of the reverse periphery, and minor cracks on the obverse.

Population Data (9/15): For the year 1834, NGC reports seven submissions in MS66 and two MS67 finer. The finest B-4 at NGC is a single MS66. The finest at PCGS are three MS66, one of them certified as a B-4.

Heritage Commentary: The obverse die was also used for marriages and remarriages of different reverse dies to create the 1834 B-3 and 1834 B-5 varieties, and specialists can track the progress of the various die cracks known via those matings.

Provenance: Purchased by Haig A. Koshkarian from Legend Numismatics (6/1997); Koshkarian Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, 3/2004) lot 63.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23RZ, Variety PCGS# 38995, Base PCGS# 5353, GSID# 212968)
