1819 B-2 Bust Quarter G-T-C : 200 Year Anniversary

1TwoBits

For the second month of 2019, I have the 1819 Browning 2 variety bust quarter. It has the large 9 in the date, is considered an R3, and also has interesting die states if you like die cracks. Die cracks can be found around the obverse stars, and there can be a reverse die crack from rim-U-wing. The 1819 Browning 2 can be found in all grades.

My example below was crossed from NGC to PCGS. Feel free to guess the NGC and/or PCGS grade if you'd like, and comments are always welcome. If you have an 1819 B-2, please post a picture if you're able.

Looking at the coin a 2nd time, I think my first guess was low.

I have 3 B2's - I just can't pass up a gorgeous quarter. I would say yours is a 50 based on technical grade, but 53 for eye appeal. Maybe 55 is luster is all there. Irrespective of the grade, it is a stunner!

Best, SH

N 50. P 50. Nice looking coin.

That coin has lots of character. Very nice.

Those are some terrific bust quarters there gentlemen. I think this is a really enjoyable series. Really a fairly reasonable length die marriage set with only five or six really tough marriages. It's great to see such quality circulated examples. Large size quarters are particularly awesome from my point of view.

This coin was one where NGC and PCGS agreed - XF45. The coin has a lot of luster, and I always wished all of my XF’s could look like this and trade for XF prices.

Thank you for the guesses and comments, and those are some very nice examples, as always SH.

Late to the party, but with that luster I would have said AU50 even with the wear on the curls. Great coin and not very easy to find nice.
