<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3096579, member: 74849&quot;]The first rule of numismatic spending (for me at least): why have one when you can have two at twice the price? Well, in this case I guess it’s a little more than twice the price, but I digress. </p><p><br /></p><p>My first bust quarter was a raw 1815 with some marks in the fields, so when I saw this one I thought it would be a worthy companion for my first one. Graded G4 by NGC (I personally think it is conservatively graded; it looks nicer than the G6’s on the market right now).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]782721[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>No quarters had been minted for 8 years when the Planters Bank in New Orleans coerced the Mint to make them 69,232 quarters at the end of 1815. In January 1816, another 20,003 were delivered the day before a fire damaged the mint’s rolling equipment, effectively crippling the mint’s capacity to make silver and gold coins (cent planchets were imported).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
