This CBQ Browning 2, R-2 is a very early die state with beautiful semi PL fields & cameo devices. Every detail - stars, hair, denticles. motto, feathers & claws are fully struck. Frosty cartwheel luster fairly shimmers when the coin is tilted about under light. It has a freshly minted look!
Three die pairings were used to strike 1825 CBQ’s: 1825/2, 25/3 & 25/4. More recently, it was discovered a leftover 1824/2 die was used as well. While the B-2 is considered to be a common die pairing, the exceptional eye appeal & condition of this piece is quite uncommon.
A huge thank you goes to Dave Kubes (@usararecoin) for making this special coin available!

I was going to point to this coin as one of the very few other multiple overdates known when I was discussing my new 1824 over Various Dates Half Dollar.
Your coin is fantastic! Congratulations Ken!!
Really. That is a special coin and probably made the whole show for you!

When I opened this thread and saw the photos of the coin the thought that popped up in my mind was the following song title (I think sung by Robert Palmer):

Well that's nuts!

I loved having this lovely example at our table and I know @Copperindian's tastes. I figured he would be a player for it. One of the most stunning Large Capped Bust Quarters I have ever seen and I got to spend several hours staring at her before @Copperindian scooped it up! My eyes always went right to her in @usararecoins display in the case every time I scanned our offerings. Very happy it is going to a nice home...........................
Wow! What a beauty! Congratulations!
