Description
Amazing MS65 1838 No Drapery Quarter
1838 25C No Drapery MS65 NGC. The more common "Open Claws" reverse, with the eagle's right talons well-spread. Philadelphia alone struck quarters in 1838, and after slightly over a third of a million Bust quarters were produced, the design changed to the Seated Liberty effigy, struck to the tune of slightly under half a million pieces. A few were saved as novelties, but as one might expect for an 1830s issue, Gem survivors are important condition rarities. This faintly gold-tinged example is carefully preserved with impressive luster. While Larry Briggs comments that the issue is often weakly struck on the head, stars, and dentils, only a touch of softness is visible on star 13 on the obverse. Census: 4 in 65, 3 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23SE, PCGS# 5391, GSID# 5108)
