Description

Scarce 1806/5 Quarter
MS62, B-1

1806/5 25C MS62 NGC. B-1. R.2. The variety is attributed by a missing lower left serif of 1 in the date, with the 1 touching the hair, and the top of 5 in the denomination embedded in the arrow feathers.
Luminous surfaces are peripherally toned with vibrant splashes of blue and gold while the centers are a much lighter gold to silver in color. Fairly well struck on all but the uppermost hair curls of Liberty, and we note strong breast and neck feathers on the eagle. Both the obverse and reverse show clash marks, particularly so on the reverse which shows much of the outline of Liberty in the fields. A few minuscule handling marks do not significantly detract. Always in strong demand for the overdate feature, and a scarce coin to find so well preserved. The overdate is strong, with the lower knob and loop of the 5 very clear to the unaided eye, apparently no effort was made to efface the undertype. Census: 2 in 62, 5 finer (10/08).
