B-4. R.1 The 1831 Capped Bust Quarter – Small Letters Variety struck during a pivotal transition in U.S. Mint production, this issue introduced the Close Collar, Reduced Diameter format (24mm versus 28mm), enhancing strike quality and consistency. Chief Engraver William Kneass implemented different reverse lettering sizes, with the Small Letters variety recognized by its shorter, wider spacing from the rim, distinguishing it from the Large Letters variety, where the characters appear taller and closer to the rim. With a modest mintage of 398,000 and an estimated 3,625 survivors, the survival rate of only 0.911% underscores its scarcity, particularly in higher Mint State grades. Among the most sought-after issues in early quarters. PCGS values this issue at $7,750 with a CAC Price Guide valuation of $8,000. Notably, a CAC example with near identical toning sold for $9,600 01/25 HA for a NGC MS64 example, reflecting the strong market demand for premium attractive specimens. The strike is exceptionally sharp, with each detail—from Liberty’s curls and drapery folds to the finely defined shield lines on the reverse—razor-crisp and fully impressed. Its preservation is remarkable, with only minute, nearly imperceptible imperfections visible under magnification. Visually, this coin is breathtaking, boasting concentric halos of gold, violet, and electric blue toning, enhancing its luster and originality. The satiny fields exhibit dynamic cartwheel brilliance, further magnifying the coin’s desirability. The color interplay and outstanding surface preservation elevate this coin beyond its numerical grade, making it an exceptional acquisition for advanced collectors.
