1819 25C Small 9 AU58 PCGS. B-3, R1. Population (PCGS 5/18, NGC 1/4).
Die State II, Colon After 25C: The 9 in the date is mostly centered beneath Liberty's lowest hair curl. On the reverse the ED in UNITED is aligned, with the D somewhat higher. The 25 in the denomination is re-punched, the 2 lightly, the 5 broadly. A light die crack from the rim through star 11 to the bust, and a slender diagonal crack though the bust truncation and the first 1 in the date to the rim, otherwise the dies are perfect. Encapsulated in a green label holder.
Both sides of this wondrously preserved example has surfaces drenched in a sea-green and pearl-gray with occasional overlays of subtle steel-blue toning draping this satiny and attractively preserved Bust Quarter. The strike is exemplary.
