Early Quarters
1805 25C B-3, R.1, XF40 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 5/2. Mint luster remains around the raised devices, while silver-lilac and tangerine-gold toning combine for attractive eye appeal on this pleasing XF example. The B-3 variety is the most-available of the five 1805 die pairs and it is always a favorite choice for date and type. The surfaces on this example are smooth with slight weakness (as usually present) on the field stars. Struck from a late stage of the dies.
