1838 B-1 Capped Bust Quarter, MS65
Transitional Year

1838 25C B-1, R.1, MS65 PCGS. Die State b with clash marks on the obverse and die cracks on both sides. This is the transitional year for quarter dollars, the last year of the Capped Bust design and the first year of the Liberty Seated type. While Mint State pieces are plentiful, Gems are rare. Less than 10 MS65 or finer examples are known, and only two of those are clearly finer than the present example. This satin Gem combines golden-brown and pale blue toning with subdued luster on the obverse and brilliant luster on the reverse. Population: 7 in 65, 1 finer (6/15).
