Hoosier Collection
1851

Owner Comments:

CAC approved. Ex: Jim Gray Carolina Collection. Considerable mint luster remains on both sides of this originally toned example. The otherwise copper-gray sheen yields to splashes of cobalt-blue color in select obverse peripheral areas, as well as some iridescent undertones throughout the reverse. Sharp in strike with no mentionable abrasions. As many of the 160,000 Quarters that emerged from the Philadelphia Mint's presses in 1851 were undoubtably melted for their bullion content, this scarce near-Mint survivor should have little trouble attracting strong bids.
