详细说明

1836 Capped Bust Quarter. B-3. Rarity-1. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. Attractive gray-gold to russet toning spans the obverse and reverse, with deeper traces accenting the devices as well as a few areas showing brighter jewel tones. The strike is sharp throughout, despite this advanced die state, with multiple but thin die cracks bisecting the obverse and reverse dies. Pleasing surfaces that show little more than shallow scuffs and light nicks when closely examined. One of the finest examples of this date to be certified, with PCGS recording at most seven pieces with just a single coin seen finer.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers</strong><br /> Quarter dollars of the 1831-1838 Capped Bust type, small diameter, form an interesting series. The various dates listed in the <em>Guide Book of United States Coins</em> are all easily obtainable, although in higher Mint State ranges they are scarce in relation to the demand for them. The present piece would make a nice start on a specialized group.
