<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1815 25C MS63 PCGS. B-1, R.1. The only die marriage for the issue. Although John Reich's Capped Bust design had been used on Half Dollars and Half Eagles since 1807, it was not coined on Quarters until 1815. The reason for this is that no Quarters were struck between 1808 and 1817 aside from the 1815, since depositors of silver bullion at the Mint preferred the more convenient Half Dollar. Although the 1815 is obtainable in worn grades, Uncirculated pieces are both scarce and desirable. This well struck example has shimmering luster and dusky tan-gold and dove-gray colors. A few faint slide marks are fully appropriate for the grade. Faint clashmarks (as made) confirm a middle die state. Population: 16 in 63, 17 finer (2/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
