Bust Quarters
1815 25C "E" Counterstamp B-1, R.1 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Slight granularity and microscopic pitting accompanies high point glossiness on this lightly cleaned B-1 quarter, which may have been in the ground at one time. It has since acquired umber-gray toning that deepens at the borders with underlying bright-silver surfaces emerging at the centers. The "E" countermark is bold above Liberty's cap, the exact purpose or maker of the counterstamp still uncertain despite much speculation and intensive research by specialists over the years.
