Description
1835 B-7 Quarter, Beautifully Toned PR64
One of Only Eight Proofs Known
From the Gardner Collection
1835 25C PR64 NGC. B-7, R.7 as a Proof. Boldly defined
devices on both sides enhance deep, glassy fields on this
exceptionally eye-appealing Choice proof. The obverse shows a blush
of lavender and gold in the center, with deep ocean-blue margins
and a lighter mint-gold periphery. The same color scheme dominates
the reverse, although the central hues intrude further into the
margins. A few minor contact marks are all well-hidden by the vivid
patina.Star 13 just touches the lowest hair curl. On the reverse, there is no period after 25C, and the lower portion of a misplaced E is evident in the field below the primary E in UNITED. This is the only use of this reverse die, although the obverse was also employed for the B-8 variety.
We have been able to confirm the survival of just eight 1835 proof quarters, including a single B-1 representative, pedigreed to the Eliasberg Collection, and seven B-7 examples. Of the B-7 specimens, six are in private hands, and one -- believed to be the finest -- is housed in the Smithsonian Institution. Of those in private hands, the present piece is tied for second-finest, trailing the Pittman coin only by the margin of a Plus designation. NGC reports five proofs in all grades, four in PR64 and one in PR65. PCGS shows four submissions, one each in PR63, PR64+, PR65 Cameo, and PR66 Cameo (11/18).
