1831 25C Small Letters MS65 NGC. B-4, R.1. Die State IV. This variety is most easily attributed by double punching on the 5 in the denomination, and the final star positioned close to the hair curl. This die state is rare as such and is characterized by the patch of die rust by the final S in STATES. This date was apparently hoarded at the time of issue as the first year of the new design, with at least 30 Uncirculated coins believed known today. This is certainly one of the finest, if not the finest, with the Condition Census as listed in the 1992 revision of Ard Browning's reference on the series being: (65, 64, 64, 63, 63, 63, many). Brilliant throughout with soft, frosted mint luster, there are really no abrasions or significant luster grazes that would prove useful as far as tracing the pedigree of this important B-4 quarter. However, there is a very light, straight toning streak or possibly a streak of grease that was struck into the coin at the time of manufacture that runs from the eagle's shield across the right (facing) wingtip. Important notice: 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. 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.
