Since we've run out of Browning varieties for 1820 after 5 die marriages, I've got something different for this month's 200 year anniversary.

Below is an 1820 Browning-1 large size capped bust quarter with a planchet cutter error. PCGS called this error "incomplete punched planchet before striking." You can see the obverse outline from the first attempted punch of a planchet, along with the corresponding semi-circle outline on the reverse. The coin isn't in the nicest shape, but I've never seen this particular error on another bust quarter.

Post a picture of a bust quarter error (any year), or 1820 bust quarter if you have one.
