1818/5 25C B-3, R.3, MS65 PCGS. CAC. Tompkins Die State 2/2. This well-pedigreed coin represents the B-3 variety, which employs the same overdated obverse die that was previously used to strike the 1818/5 B-1 variety. The dies were lapped between uses, and most of the undertype 5 was effaced. On the reverse, the I in PLURIBUS is centered under the left side of the second T in STATES. The B-3 variety is somewhat scarcer than its B-1 counterpart, but demand is not as strong because the overdate is not easily detected. This attractive Gem from the Eliasberg Collection displays well-detailed design elements that show some incompleteness of detail due to lapping. Dusky shades of silver-gray and ice-blue toning blanket the unmarked satiny surfaces, creating outstanding eye appeal. Struck from a late state of the dies, the reverse die is cracked through the lower arrow, nearly reaching the shield, and also shows clash marks below the scroll. CAC endorsement confirms high quality for the Gem Uncirculated grade. (The holder insert incorrectly displays the PCGS number 5322. The correct PCGS base number for the B-3 variety is 5323.) Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 1369; The Eugene H. Gardner Collection / New York Signature (Heritage, 6/2014), lot 30349. From The Fairfax Type Set of U.S. Coins. HID06601242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
