1824/2 Capped Bust Quarter. B-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. VG-8 (ANACS). OH.This is a richly toned, attractively original example bathed in deep charcoal-gray patina. Iridescent cobalt blue undertones flash into view as the surfaces dip into a light, both sides overall smooth in hand with the devices boldly outlined. One of the scarcest dates in the underrated Capped Bust, Large Diameter quarter series of 1815 to 1828, the 1824/2 has an estimated mintage of just 16,000 pieces (per Steve. M Tompkins, 2008).
