1815 25C MS64 PCGS. B-1, the only known dies, R.1. Die
<B>1815 25C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> B-1, the only known dies, R.1. Die State III. This die state shows that the dies were lapped, which almost completely effaced the prominent die clashing from Die State II. It also reduced the prominence of the repunching on the second T in STATES, and it also accounts for the smaller 5 in the date. The famous E and L counterstamped quarters are often found from this die state. As indicated in the write-up for the MS66 below, quarters were not an especially popular early mint product. The 89,235 pieces struck in 1815 were apparently sufficient to meet the demand for this denomination until 1818, when more quarters were produced again. This lovely piece is mostly brilliant. It shows smooth, creamy mint luster with no obvious or detracting abrasions on either side.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
