A key issue from an estimated mintage of just 17,800 pieces, the vast majority of which are suspected to have been from earlier dated dies, as the paltry number of 1823/2 quarters extant suggests a considerably more limited actual mintage for this date. Only a single die pairing is known of this legendary rarity and the 30 or so known survivors are highly sought out among advanced collectors. The appearance of ANY 1823/2 Bust quarter in today's market represents an important bidding opportunity for the specialist! A pleasing example considering the grade, this well-worn survivor has creamy golden motifs with deeper dove-grey fields giving it that desirable circ-cameo appearance. The devices are suitably outlined with the date and centers especially bold. - Capped Bust Quarter
