1818 Bust Quarter Errors : 200 Year Anniversary

For this month's tribute to the 200 year anniversary of 1818 coinage, this Bust Quarter Guess-The-Grade features the 1818 Browning 8 variety. I posted a thread on the B-8 variety in August. This particular example was struck with a misaligned obverse die, which isn't often seen on bust quarters.
No need to guess the grade on this one, an 1818 B-10 with a double struck reverse.
These pictures are in the interesting error section of the book Early Quarter Dollars Of The United States Mint by Rory Rea, Dr. Glenn Peterson, Bradley Karoleff, and Kohn Kovach Jr. Thanks to Rory for taking the pictures.
If you have a bust quarter error, or error on another denomination of bust coinage, please post it if you can.

Does the misaligned die coin have a railroad rim too?
Very nice.
I LOVE your posts on bust quarters. Keep them coming please.
Bust quarter errors are scarce as all heck and always fun to see (especially in person). I'll always regret selling the few that I had!

I'll have to double check for the railroad rim, I forget.
I have a reduced size bust quarter that is misaligned and has the railroad rim.
I've posted this before, but here's another 1818 error (double struck):
