Outstanding 1837 Quarter, B-1, MS65

1837 25C MS65 NGC. CAC. B-1, R.3. The 7 in the date is centered under the left edge of the hair curl, identifying the obverse. The reverse is distinguished by a die crack from the D in UNITED through STATE. According to Steve M. Tompkins' new reference (2008), this piece would be Die State 3/2, as evidenced by the several die cracks on the obverse, the previously mentioned crack through D STATE, and a relapped reverse, which has caused the bottom of the first line in stripe 5 to be detached from the shield. He lists a lone MS65 NGC specimen at the top of his Condition Census, but this piece--although apparently unlisted by Tompkins--is also one of the finest examples.
A medley of deep purple, electric blue, and reddish-gold covers both sides of this impeccably preserved specimen. Several stars are weakly defined, but the rest of the design elements are boldly impressed. An attractive example that would suit the most discerning eye. While NGC reports seven finer examples, it does not distinguish between die varieties (6/09).(Registry values: P1)
