 1825 Br.1 (R-4). 2 in Line with Fraction Bar. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Breath-taking prooflike flash in the profoundly lustrous fields joins the beauty of a very precise strike to make this gleaming coin a total visual standout. One of 3,324 struck and among the finest existing today of this distinctive variety. An idea of rarity can be gained from scrutinizing the Dannreuther-Garrett listing, which includes 47 auction appearances for this important date, most of which are not distinguished by variety. The present coin is finer than all of these save one reported Gem. Here is a coin that would be hard to match, harder still to improve upon.
