Description

1836 B-5 Quarter, XF45
Ex: Jules Reiver Collection

1836 25C B-5, High R.6, XF45 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection / Jon D. Lusk Collection. Both dies were used for other varieties. The obverse die was used in earlier die states for B-4. Prior to this die marriage, the reverse die was used for 1835 B-8 and 1836 B-1, remaining in use for 1837 B-1, B-3, and B-4. The late state of the shattered obverse die with multiple cracks clearly explains the rarity of this variety.

The Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census lists 11 examples of the variety with the comment: "There are other examples not listed." When we cataloged this piece for the Jules Reiver Collection, we felt it was the finest known of just six examples. Today, this example is considered the third finest behind an AU50 NGC coin and an XF45 PCGS example. Delicate golden-brown toning gathers near the borders with a few small marks and minor obverse lamination.
Ex: Driscoll (2/1990); Jules Reiver (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 22463.
From The Jon D. Lusk Collection.
