1818 Capped Bust Quarter. B-8. Rarity-3. AU-58 (NGC). Deep battleship-gray and antique-gold toning combines with satiny luster and overall good striking detail to define this coin as a premium quality Capped Bust quarter. Browning-8 is one of the most popular die marriages of this type, being the only one to feature a reverse on which the hallux of the eagles right claw is visible. This particular example, while not quite in the Condition Census, is still superior to the vast majority of survivors known to numismatists.
