Lot 986
1821 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A sensational gem. Shades of golden, magenta, and bluish green toning are noticeable throughout. An unbelievably lustrous gem with sizzling frost beneath the rich toning. The reverse and obverse centers play host to a crisp detail and originality always appreciated by the stronger buyers. Full sharp stars and legends. In short, a lovely coin, one that certainly meets the qualifications of MS65 grade, and then some. Pop 6; 5 finer, 4 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 5331) .
Die characteristics: A later die state with the die crack heavy from the rim through star 12 into Liberty's hair. The reverse die on this pairing was also used in the production of 1820 Quarters of the B-4 variety, and it is most readily identifiable by the presence of diagnostic rust pits in the field between the 2 in the denomination and the olive leaves.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 24,000.
