If you have a Capped bust quarter... let's say you are comparing 2 Browning varieties
If you have
Obverse A with die stages: perfect, with no further stages listed
Reverse A = Browning 1
Obverse A with die perfect, and numerous progressive stages listed
Reverse B = Browning 2
You find a specimen with a die crack representing next to the, or the terminal die stage of of Browning 2, also clearly with the reverse of Browning 1
If you have
Obverse A with die stages: perfect, with no further stages listed
Reverse A = Browning 1
Obverse A with die perfect, and numerous progressive stages listed
Reverse B = Browning 2
You find a specimen with a die crack representing next to the, or the terminal die stage of of Browning 2, also clearly with the reverse of Browning 1

<< <i>Not enough clear information to answer the question. >>
Obverse 1 is listed as die perfect only for Browning 1, reverse A
Obverse 1 is listed as numerous stages for B-2, reverse B
But you find one that has the die cracks listed down on B-2, with reverse A

<< <i>Thank you for the clarification. That would be a "remarriage" and not a new variety. Still a significant discovery and you should send that info to the Bust Quarter authors. >>
How significant on a scale of 1-10? Would this alter the books?

Actually, it would depend which die state the obverse was. If it were a later die state than the earliest state known for Browing-2 then it would be a remarriage. If it were the earliest die state known on Browning-2 then it very well may simply be a non-listed die state for Browning-1. But neither way is it a new Browning DM.
