Help with attributing 1820 Bust Quarter

bigjpst

Just bought this Counterstamped bust quarter and I'm having trouble determining if it is B1 or B2. Hopefully someone with more experience with this date can help. Too much wear on scroll for me to determine T-I correlation and I'm not sure if die lines from olive leaves are usually visible at this low grade. All of the other differences listed in my reference seem too close for me to make a determination but I'm leaning to B1 Thanks in advance.

Of the choices, B-1. Check scroll ends and period.

Yeah B1. You’d still see the olive leaf die line even in low grade, and the olive leaf itself would look “sharper”.

Thanks everyone.
@ricko thanks for the link. I didn’t know that the “opera” was a minstrel Show.
I’ve had an interest in counterstamps for a while and have seen these on world coins but very seldom do they come on a bust quarters. My Brunk reference only shows 1806 as far as quarters the rest being mostly world coins. Usually 2 reales. All are listed as scarce.
The B1 variety is one of 2 varieties for the year listed as R5. Not that it necessarily matters because many quarter variety collectors won't want a counterstamp on their coin and counterstamp collectors probably won't care about what variety the host coin is, but for me having an interest in both it adds to the coolness factor.
