1836 B-1 Quarter, MS65
Ex: Eliasberg-Gardner
High Condition Census

1836 25C B-1, R.2, MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg-Bender. Tompkins Die State 4/3 with three lengthy cracks that intersect west of Liberty's ear. This lovely Gem 1836 B-1 quarter boasts rich mint luster on cream-gray and ivory-white surfaces with tinges of tan, copper, and pale moss at the borders. Star 7 is flatly struck, as is the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing. A pair of thin lines, east of the eagle's neck, are the only singular marks. Virtually unimprovable, since our online archives show only one Heritage auction appearance of any business strike 1836 quarter in a higher grade, the B-3 MS67★ Green-Newman specimen. At the MS65 level, the sole prior Heritage auction appearance is the present coin from the third Gardner Signature auction. The Condition Census in the 2008 Tompkins reference does not list any examples above MS64.
