Proof. Sharp. Excessively rare state. — Henry Chapman, 1904This is the finest known 1821 Proof quarter, and the finest known example of the date in any finish. A triumph of the coiners art, even more spectacularly mirrored than the 1820 Proof above. Painterly touches of bright blue and violet embrace the centers of iridescent gold, rich enough to cover the fields completely but delicate enough to let the brilliance of silver shine through. The strike surpasses excellence, finely presenting every design element, though star 7 lacks a complete center. The surfaces are pristine, with a tiny mark above the space between AT in STATES the only contact point found in a careful examination. Some natural planchet chips are present between the wingtip and the final A in AMERICA. The die state is early, with the die line from the bust truncation to above 1 of the date intact. One firm strike is detected.There are just three 1821 B-5 quarters known in Proof. One, preserved in the Mint Cabinet until it was transferred in 1923, is now part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution. Another was sold as part of the February 1982 sale of the Robison Collection, later offered in the Stacks session of Auction 86 and Stacks 64th Anniversary sale of October 1999, where it was sold as Proof-60. This example is far and away the finest in collectors hands and is better preserved than the Smithsonian specimen as well.Breens listing of 1821 quarters is somewhat befuddled and, unfortunately, later censuses have followed, stemming from Breens misattribution of the Wolfson (1962) coin and a misunderstanding of the description in the Robison catalog. The Wolfson coin is a Browning-4, not a Browning-5, and later appeared in the 1977 Hawn sale. The listing for the Robison-Auction 86-Stacks 10-99 coin in the Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian census includes the Wolfson-Hawn string, but they are different coins from different dies. What is crystal clear is this: history records just three confirmed Proof specimens from these dies, and only two of them are in private hands. Further, PCGS has never certified another 1821 quarter as a Proof, besides this coin. To reiterate, this is the only one, and it is magnificent.
