Description
Splendid 1838 Bust Quarter, MS63
1838 25C MS63 NGC. B-1, R.1. Splendid sage, gold, and copper patination graces the obverse, with deeper hues from the same palette on the reverse. Only one die pairing is known for the Bust quarter of 1838, a "split-mintage" year that also saw the introduction of the Seated Liberty quarters. Some of the obverse stars are on the softly struck side, and a tiny dark toning spot is noted near star 12. On the reverse, there is some struck-in die grease through the shield and toward the right field. These minor distractions account for the grade, but there is much appeal otherwise that merits strong bidding. Census: 18 in 63, 24 finer (4/08).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 5357, GSID# 5096)
