1807 Quarter, B-1, Boldly Struck AU58
Last Quarters Minted Until 1815

1807 25C B-1, R.2, AU58 PCGS. CAC. Deep brownish-mauve patina resides on each side of this scarcely circulated 1807 quarter. The strike through Liberty's hair and the central devices on the reverse is bold, although minor softness shows on some of the obverse star centers.

Variety: B-1, R.2. All the digits in the date are perfectly formed, nicely rounded, and well-spaced. Stars 1 and 2 are distant. Star 1 is twice as far from the curl as star 13 is from the bust. The dentils are missing from star 7 to star 8. The reverse shows the top of C in the denomination embedded in the tail. Bold die clashing shows on both sides, and die cracks on the reverse run from 2 to UNI and from the field, parallel to the rim left of ST through those letters.

Population Data (9/15): For the date, PCGS reports 15 in AU58 (one AU58+) and 38 finer. NGC shows 11 AU58 and 33 finer.

Heritage Commentary: Only two varieties exist for the year, both common (but the B-2 a bit less so), and those 228,000-plus pieces would be the last Bust quarters struck until the Capped Bust coins debuted in 1815.

Provenance: Stack's (1/1997), lot 533.
