XF40, cool die cracks

nice coin.

there appears to be a couple of thin die cracks.

I'll hazard a guess of xf45 for your coin, but I'm not very familiar with this type.

I'd go with XF40 (based on my CBH knowledge). The first set of photos hint at the wonderful toning the coin probably has. The die cracks certainly distinguish the coin. Nice piece.

I think it may go xf40. Hellacious die cracks!

XF40 details, an old cleaning but has retoned.

I wish I had the browning book. Is thre a version online anywhere?

It is a B-6 R-2, Late Die Stage, showing all of the obverse and reverse die cracks.

I agree, EF-40, but I would have to see it in hand to determine if the surfaces are acceptable. Your photos go a long way towards showing how much lighting makes a difference in the look of the coin. Still, all in all, a nice example

This reverse die was also used on the B-4 and B-5 die marriages in 1835, however it only began to crack during the striking of this marriage (B-6). The late die stage with all of the cracks is about as available as the same as one without the cracks.

I wish I had the browning book. Is there a version online anywhere?

No, but you can always buy one of my new books that is head and shoulders above the Browning book... (see my sig line)

Or you can go to the website that has the Russ Logan collection from 2002. Russ had many of the die marriages in the bust quarter series, but not all.

sub paragraph DUI. 169, " ATs a KEEPER!

I like it, the lighting on the obverse seems about right but its a bit strong on the reverse to know how the color looks in hand.

Here is mine, a different variety but also 1835

I don't mind helping out a fellow collector, especially in a series that I know very well. However, if you are just looking for this information to help you sell this coin, then it is considered spam...

I just ran across your sale of this coin on E-bay...
