1824/2 25C --Obverse Scratched--NGC. XF Details. B-1, R.3. Robert Scot passed away in early November 1823, and 1823-dated quarter dies are likely the last he produced. Steve Tompkins speculates that Christian Gobrecht may have been hired immediately as a fill-in, producing the overdated 1824/2 die from a leftover 1822 obverse, with the actual quarters delivered on Dec. 31, 1823. Much appeal remains on this powder-gray piece, despite a pair of intersecting scratches on the obverse that meet at Liberty's throat. We feel the Details grade is actually a trifle understated, and a sharp strike and lack of other impairments add to the allure.From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II. Grade: 40, Service: NGC Details, Service No.: 5335, Issue Date: 1824/2, Denomination: 25C
