1824/2 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. AU-50 (PCGS).，This richly original example is warmly patinated in slightly mottled pewter and dove gray. Smooth in hand with appreciable satin luster evident as the surfaces dip into a light, bold to sharp AU definition rounds out an impressive list of physical attributes for this handsome piece. All known 1824 quarters are overdates of the B-1 die marriage. Federal records indicate a mintage of 168,000 quarters for calendar years 1824 and 1825 combined, with examples of the former year far rarer in numismatic hands. In fact, researchers believe that most of the coins that comprise this mintage were struck from 1825-dated dies, the actual mintage of the 1824-dated issue likely on the order of just 16,000 or so coins. Based on the census compiled by Rory R. Rea, Dr. Glenn Peterson, Bradley S. Karoleff and John J. Kovach, Jr. in the 2010 book <em>Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint: 1796-1838</em>, the present coin in PCGS AU-50 numbers among the top 25 examples known.，PCGS# 5335. NGC ID: 23RR.，，From Heritages Long Beach Signature Coin Auction of February 2009, lot 1062.
