Description

1838 Quarter, B-1, MS63
Lustrous Final-Year Type Coin

1838 25C B-1, R.1, MS63 NGC. Only a single die marriage is known. This is a lustrous straw-gold example of the final-year Bust quarter date -- well struck except for star 6, and the few faint hair-thin obverse marks are unimportant to the grade. It was the quarter's turn to move from Capped Bust to Seated motifs in 1838. The half dime and dime transitioned in 1837, and the half dollar would follow in 1839. Census: 26 in 63, 23 finer (2/16).
