1837 B-1 Quarter, MS65
Nicely Toned and Well-Preserved

1837 25C B-1, R.3, MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 7 in the date is centered under the left edge of the hair curl. The reverse eagle has no tongue, the 2 has a curl base, and the base of E in UNITED is below that of T. A die crack traverses the lower obverse border from the rim near star 2, through two points of star 1, the forward bust, above the date, and to stars 13 and 12. A crack runs from D through STATE to the dentils. More than 252,000 quarters were reported struck in 1837, and six die pairs are known, with only the B-2 ranked in the "common" category. Ample luster radiates from surfaces toned in light to medium shades of sky-blue, bluish-purple, golden-orange, gray, and lime-green. This Gem shows a sharp strike except for softness in the star radials around the upper border. Both sides exhibit excellent preservation and great eye appeal.
