Lovely Prooflike MS 63 1835 Quarter

1835 MS 63 NGC. B-1, R.1. A beautiful coin for the grade, one with that certain "pizzazz" that speaks of a much higher grade. Careful examination under low magnification reveals some tiny marks (and the accuracy of the assigned grade as well), but this is still an "arm's length" beauty by just about anyone's standards. The surfaces are prooflike in appearance, while all of the design elements are crisp and sharply defined. On the obverse the central brilliance fades into concentric rings of iridescent gold and gunmetal-blue colors, while the largely brilliant reverse sports a halo of deep golden color at the rims. While there are almost certainly examples of this date in technically higher grades available in today's numismatic marketplace, it is difficult to imagine a specimen with more eye appeal.
