1838 Capped Bust Quarter, B-1, MS64
Lustrous and Attractive Final-Year Type Coin

1838 25C B-1, R.1, MS64 NGC. Despite a reported mintage of 366,000 pieces, just one die marriage is known for 1838 quarters. This is a Choice Uncirculated example with golden-tan toning and traces of blue at the margins. A glass reveals a number of faint, hair-thin abrasions in the left obverse field beneath the attractive patina, as well as a small pinscratch beneath the left (facing) wing. The strike and eye appeal are strong throughout both sides. Census: 19 in 64 (1 in 64+), 5 finer (1/19).
