THE PERFECTION COLLECTION OF CAPPED BUST QUARTERS
A fabulous B-1, a truly wonderful example of this Rarity-3 die marriage, which ranks atop the Condition Census listings in both the Rea, et al and Steve Tompkins references on early American quarters. Wholesome and totally original, this is a very CHOICE piece that has a classic, old time collection look. Dove-gray patina has a glowing, pearlescent sheen that enlivens the pewter-tan, russet, and olive-gold patina that clings to the protected areas of the devices, mostly at the peripheries. Somewhat "dusty" this coin clearly has never been conserved in any way over the years. The devices are crisply rendered, with the obverse displaying the bisecting die crack that is seen on most B-1s, we suspect that the perfect state of the dies is very rare.
PCGS 5, NGC 14, CAC 4. There has not been a PCGS MS64 CAC sold in over a decade! We sold a PCGS MS64+ CAC from the MHS Collection for $17,625 in our July 2022 Regency Auction. The PCGS Price Guide value is $8,500 and the CAC CPG value is $8,250. There are only three examples graded higher for the date. These values jump dramatically to $40,000 and $36,000 respectively. A fantastic opportunity for the advanced collector. Good luck.
