During the 1840 design hub transition from No Drapery to Drapery, the Philadelphia mint only struck the With Drapery design and produced 188,127 pieces. This date is accepted as being rare in Mint State with specimens being struck by heavily polished dies. The result is a mirrored finish in the fields. This same die finish has also been noted on 1840 Drapery Seated dimes. While inspecting with a 10x under angled lighting, diagonal die polished lines are evident on the obverse and behind all the reverse devices. A medium bluish-gray patina covers the obverse while the same coloration is decorated by peripheral copper gold on the reverse. A truly choice and pleasing example for the passionate Seated quarter collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
