Attractive 1807 Quarter, B-1, MS63

1807 25C MS63 PCGS. B-1, R.2. A healthy mintage of 220,643 quarters was accomplished in 1807, although some of these coins may have been dated 1806. This was the last year for the Draped Bust design, and coinage of this denomination was not resumed until 1815. Two die varieties are known for the date. The coin offered here is an example of the more available B-1 die marriage, characterized by the block 8 in the date. Letter punch evidence suggests B-1 was actually struck after the other die variety of the date, making it the last issue of the design type.
The present coin features attractive medium gray patina, with hints of rose surrounding the devices. Strong underlying mint luster is evident beneath the patina. A better than average strike shows full detail on the stars on the left obverse and the eagle's breast over the shield on the reverse. Slight weakness is noted on the stars on the right and the forefront of Liberty's hair. Obvious die clashing is evident on the reverse. The scattered handling marks are not individually distracting. Population: 17 in 63, 14 finer (2/09).
