Near-Gem 1806 B-2 Quarter, Late Die Stages
Tied for Finest in Condition Census

1806 25C MS64 PCGS. B-2, R.2. Tompkins Die Stages 3/4-5. On the obverse the T in LIBERTY lacks its lower left corner on the upright, and star 13 touches the bust. On the reverse the C in the denomination touches the last A and virtually touches the tail feathers. AME are all joined at their bases, with the A below M.
The obverse is shared with the B-3 die pairing. In this late stage of the reverse die, a crack runs up through the left side of the 2 in the denomination, all the way up through the eagle and back to the rim at 12:15. Other cracks appear, and the rim is crumbling above F and ME, which led to the eventual retirement of the die. This near-Gem example boasts terrific mint luster that bursts through the medium-density gray patina. The strike is good around the margins, but soft in the centers on both sides. There are few marks, and certainly none worthy of mention. This Choice Mint State piece appears to be tied for the finest certified spot in Tompkins' Condition Census.(Registry values: P5)
