1819 25C Small 9 AU58 认证号09842845, PCGS号5325

1819 25C Small 9 AU58 PCGS. B-3, R1. Population (PCGS 5/18, NGC 1/4). Die State II, Colon After 25C: The 9 in the date is mostly centered beneath Liberty's lowest hair curl. On the reverse the ED in UNITED is aligned, with the D somewhat higher. The 25 in the denomination is re-punched, the 2 lightly, the 5 broadly. A light die crack from the rim through star 11 to the bust, and a slender diagonal crack though the bust truncation and the first 1 in the date to the rim, otherwise the dies are perfect. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Both sides of this wondrously preserved example has surfaces drenched in a sea-green and pearl-gray with occasional overlays of subtle steel-blue toning draping this satiny and attractively preserved Bust Quarter. The strike is exemplary.

Two major varieties comprise the 1819 Quarter Dollars: Large 9 and Small 9 (the Small 9 is called a "Normal" 9 by Rea et al).  The 9 on the Large 9 is substantially larger than either of the 1's in the date; on the Small ("Normal") 9, the 9 is approximately the same hieght as the adjacent 1.  The most common of the 1819 Small 9 Quarter Dollar die varieties (B-3) is very common; the other (B-4) is very scarce.  According to the PCGS Population Report, the Small 9 is nearly twice a plentiful as the Large 9.
