1834 Capped Bust Quarter, MS64
B-1 Variety, Late Die State

1834 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. B-1, R.1. The reverse design with two-line stripes in the shield and no period after C in the denomination identifies this coin as an example of the B-1 variety. The 1834 Capped Bust quarter claims a mintage of 286,000 pieces, and the B-1 is the most available of the five die varieties known for the date. This specimen is from a late die state, with the reverse die rotated about 45 degrees clockwise from the usual alignment. The dies have been lapped, and the lower leaves on the olive branch are detached. Several clash marks are still evident below Liberty's ear.
The present coin is a sharply detailed Choice example, with original iridescent gold and powder-blue patina. Strong mint luster is evident beneath the toning. Population: 47 in 64, 9 finer (3/11).(Registry values: P1)
