  maybe the "strong money" you paid was the seller getting juts a little extra for the marriage?
  
  i know some dealers that will let varieties/marriages go cheap and just take a nice little layer of profit and keep the ball rolling
  
  but you could be correct as well that the seller didn't know

  I am not sure if a low R5 for the CBQs commands the same sort of premium that it would for a CBH (R5-).

  Only problem is that the B1 is not an R5 coin and Im sure if you ask other Bust Quarters guys in the know they will agree. In fact, the last B1 1819 S. Tompkins listed on ebay even called it an R4 too.

  I'm sure who "she" is as well.
  
  But why not mention the rarity when selling?

  I suppose if you consider Tompkins the only authority on CBQ's, that might be the case. I prefer the opinion of Rea/Peterson/Karoleff/Kovach.
  
  And for those who think the seller is a "she": wrong. She is merely cover for "he".
