1833 Quarter Question

I just got this 1833 quarter off E-Bay. Two questions:

1) What do you think?
2) I've attributed this as a B-2 (no period after the C on the reverse). I've read conflicting reports about which of the varieties from this year is rarer -- my own investigation (looking at auction records) shows the B-2 as the rarer one. Does anyone know the relative rarity of the different 1833 quarter dies?

    Looks great. I think the varieties are basically of the same rarity.

    There are only two varieties of the 1833 quarter. B-2 is a R-1, B-1 is a R-2...confusing, isn't it.image

    Yeah, that's what I read somewhere too -- but then Browning's book seemed to imply the opposite. Very confusing...
