Draped Bust Quarter question

Fugio1787

I recently got my second Draped Bust quarter
One is an 1806/5 over date (NGC G-4)and the other is a straight 1806 (PCGS FR-2)
I know the obverses are different dies but I am curious about the reverses. Any help would be appreciated

The reverse dies are different.
Look at the position of the first S in STATES relative to the cloud below it.

Thanks I was fairly certain they were different. But I was looking at the five in 25 and how much was visible

That is another very good marker.

On the obverse, what do you see besides the under digit that is a good marker?

Right here on the PCGS site you can see the free online book "Early Quarter Dollars of the United States" by A. W. Browning with info on die varieties.

There may be new discoveries since that edition. Seems there was at least one variety from1806 that is rare, though I didn't look it up.

So there is only one die pair with the 6/5, Browning-1.

That still leaves the other one to figure out.
