Capped Bust Quarters, MEGA THREAD?!

Billet7

Hey QN...you want to post a REAL 1823?

BaseballAbs

Someone needs to post one with the big die cud on the left side of the reverse. Love that coin! Steve?

Billet7

OK...anyone with a pic of an 1827 should post it quickly, because we will be moving along to the 1828.

BaseballAbs

We dont have the 1825 B-3 yet! hint hint! Stone posted two B-2's.

Moldnut

B-3

Billet7

You beat me to it!

Stone has a B-3, I think he just had them tagged wrong. It's even the late die state with the awesome CUD...did you cherrypick that one Stone???

Edited to add...I guess both the 1825s you have are CUDS.

(Long story short) - I accidentally cherried the B-3, as I didn't realize it had the Cud until after I bought it.
The B-2 was purchased for about 2x regular price guide value because of the Cud

Of all the dumb luck! That never happens to me! You know it's like an R-6 in that die state! In the dealers defense...it's actually hidden quite well on your coin, I could see someone overlooking it (in this case two someones...you and the dealer.)

I have a brother who unknowingly bought an R-5 DBH. It's very nice too!

BaseballAbs

I didn't see the cud on stones coin at first glance i was just paying attention to the size of the 5. That is a cool coin!... I sold that DBH.

Quarternut

Here is the 1825 B-3 with the retained cud...

And the same die stage with more wear...

I was wondering when someone would notice that!

I will add a real one to my previous post.

QN

P.S. I will also add an 1827, so don't hurry along to 1828 just yet!

doh

You know, this really isn't fair. I don't have Steve's book yet (I think I'm getting it for Christmas), so I don't know exactly what varieties I have yet!!

BaseballAbs

I knew the 3 on that 1823 quarter was not right. Looked like a bust half

Ya and if you get real excited like me you would want the leather bound book as well.

Quarternut

If you post pictures I am sure we can tell you what you have.

QN

doh

Oh no worries...I have 3 of my newestPs out being photographed and when they're ready I'll post them in all their glory!

Quarternut

OK, here is an 1827. Let's see if anyone can tell me exactly what we have here...



QN

doh

<< <i>OK, here is an 1827. Let's see if anyone can tell me exactly what we have here... >>



Looks like one of the restrikes...

Billet7

<< <i>You know, this really isn't fair. I don't have Steve's book yet (I think I'm getting it for Christmas), so I don't know exactly what varieties I have yet!! >>



Sure you do!

1815 is only 1 variety, B-1
1818 is B-4 as listed on your set
1822 isn't the 25/50, so it's a B-1
1825 is a B-2 as per your description.

The only one you don't know is your 1834...post pics and we will tell you.

It is a little deeper than that...

QN

Billet7

Yup, clearly the same silver restrike that you picture in your book. DS-2...sold back in 2005? One of the two "non-indent" restrikes.

Billet7

Non-essay piece. Rusted but not indented.

Quarternut

<< <i>Non-essay piece. Rusted but not indented. >>



Keep digging!

It is not the one plated in my book...

QN

BaseballAbs

I am stumped!

Quarternut

<< <i>I am stumped! >>



oohhh the suspense!

Billet7

Wow, it's not. I just assumed since they had the same surface look that they must be the same, but toning spots are different.

BaseballAbs

Its the one sold at HA in August?

Billet7

Is it a silver plated copper restrike?

doh

Hmm...okay I guess I do know. And I have an 1825 B-1. So yeah...apparently the only I don't know is the 1834. By nature, I'm not a variety guy, so I never think that in-depth about them (much like when I called QN's 1827 a restrike. Well, duh, it's a restrike, but that's about as far as I can go. No more digging for me!). Apparently, I should change my tune.

Quarternut

<< <i>Is it a silver plated copper restrike? >>



We have a winner!

cool thread.

Is this an old photo, or has it surfaced again? I thought the whereabouts were unknown. Last sold in 1990 by Stacks.

Quarternut

It sold @ the 2009 FUN Heritage sale of the Lemus pattern collection, and yes, it had not sold since 1990...

QN

Eagleguy

I keep missing a chance to post to this thread. Is it time to post a 1828 B-1?



JH

Quarternut

I got the 1828 B-2...



QN

Quarternut

And the 1828 B-3...



However, anyone else who has one feel free to post it as well...

QN

STONE

Since QuarterNut has almost all the varieties, and is just itching to post new ones, posting out of order
like what I'm doing now, is acceptable!

Here's another B-1, so I can participate

Quarternut

well if that's the case...i will post my B-1 as well!



QN

Billet7

Here's the B-4

BaseballAbs

B-4 I would post my B-3 but i think we have all seen it enough plus quarternut beat me.

BaseballAbs

I hate it when i get beat on the draw. Small diameters now!

Quarternut

<< <i> B-4 I would post my B-3 but i think we have all seen it enough plus quarternut beat me. >>



It can never hurt to have more 1828 B-3's...post away!

QN

BaseballAbs

You got it! The cool side.

Quarternut

Small diameters now!

I will have to let you guys go at it for a while, I don't have all of my picture files here at work...when you get to 1831 B-7 though, I will post again.

QN

STONE

I have my B-3 ready

Billet7

I have the B-5, but nothing until then.

BaseballAbs

Not the nicest one around but it appears to be the only B-1 i have. If anyone wants to upgrade feel free.

BaseballAbs

B-2
