Description

1838 B-1 Quarter, MS64
End of the Capped Bust Type

1838 25C B-1, R.1, MS64 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 1/1. The final Capped Bust date before replacement by the Seated type. Reportedly, a single die pair (B-1) was used to coin the entire 366,000-piece mintage -- perhaps, some of those coins were actually dated 1837. The softly lustrous obverse has a tan-brown and silver-gray center framed by forest-green, blue, and reddish-lilac. The reverse is flashy and lightly toned with peripheral peach patina. A well-preserved and satiny near-Gem, boldly struck and appealing. Population: 3 in 64, 1 finer (6/17).
