1819 Capped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-3. Large 9. AU-53 (PCGS).Charming steely-pink iridescence adorns both sides, the toning yielding to virtual brilliance on the reverse around the eagles head. The finer elements of Libertys portrait are generally sharp, as is the eagles plumage. Lustrous and overall smooth in hand, this satiny example should have little difficulty finding its way into a high grade type set. An unpopular denomination with contemporary bullion depositors, the quarter was produced in limited numbers from its inception in 1796 through the early 1850s. The Large Diameter Capped Bust design of 1815 to 1828 is particularly underrated in todays market, especially in the finer circulated and Mint State grades.
