Description

1837 Quarter, MS65
Browning-2, Scarce This Fine

1837 25C B-2, R.1, MS65 NGC. Although readily available in lesser grades, the B-2 variety is challenging to obtain in Gem Uncirculated condition. This is a frosty, lightly toned example with subtle reddish-brown patina that deepens at the margins, where a speckling of bluish-gray color awaits. Even on Gem or finer examples, the B-2 variety shows minor weakness at the upper-left stars and at the topmost cap fold. All else is sharp on this MS65 coin including the eagle's talons, which are better defined than often seen even at this high grade. Subtle die clashing exists on both sides, most visible at the edges of Liberty's portrait and beneath the eagle's wings. The 252,400-piece mintage is the second-lowest among the 1830s Capped Bust dates. NGC reports less than two dozen 1837 examples in Gem or finer conditions. NGC Census (all varieties combined): 12 in 65, 6 finer (6/26).
