Exceedingly Rare Proof 1835 Quarter 1835 Capped Bust Quarter. B-7. Rarity-7+ as a Proof. Proof-63 (PCGS). A greatly prized rarity, one of seven Proofs of the date now known to exist, including the specimen in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian. Sharply struck in all areas of the design, with even the faintest details crisp and clear. Toned with dappled russet-gold and a mix of bluish gray over the entire surface. The fields are reflective as expected, deeply so, surrounded by the frosted devices. Scattered tics and nicks are present in the left obverse field including a dull wide scrape before Liberty's neck and some vertical tics below her ear. On the reverse the E was punched in quite low, with the base of that letter suspended in the field considerably below the final placement, and this feature was likely removed from the die by lapping. An extremely rare coin in any Proof grade and this choice piece should suit even the most advanced collectors. Only the Pittman specimen is graded finer in this category by PCGS at Proof-64+. We first handled this piece 17 years ago in our sale of September 2003 and are now delighted to be featuring it once again. Provenance: From the Iron Eagle Collection. Earlier ex our (American Numismatic Rarities) sale of September 2003, lot 266; Heritage's sale of December 2005, lot 607; our (Stack's) sale of January 2009, lot 317; our (Stack's) sale of July 2009, lot 464; Heritage's sale of August 2013, lot 5577.
