Post your bust quarters R4 and higher only.

Since there is a bust halves thread already running (albeit slowly), let's see if we can draw some cool quarters out of the woodwork. These lists are always fun to come across.

Pretty cool clash marks on the obverse. I don't remember seeing them before, although I'm sure I have.

Hey scubafuel,

I don't own any Bust Quarters, let alone any R4 varieties, but I thought I'd let you know your Browning 9 is in a PCGS CoinFacts. The pics are pretty nice, and the high-res pics show those arrow clashes @ the cap pretty well.

Maybe you already knew... but in case you didn't, you do now.

1834 B2 R4

coin22lover · May 19, 2013 1:11PM

Dang, I used to own that B9 myself. It was a David Kahn coin.

Here's an 1819 B1 R5-

Eagleguy · May 19, 2013 1:22PM

1820 B1, R4

1828 B3, R5

1834 B2, R4

1821 B1, R4 (according to Rea, at least)

Thanks for the Coinfacts link Brian. I had seen that 1818 B-9 around a bit before I bought it. It's a hard one to upgrade.

Here is an 1825 B-1, R-5.

scubafuel · May 19, 2013 2:52PM

Here is a later die state of the 1818 B-4 R-4.

1827 B-2 Original (Trial piece or "Essay") a.k.a. Judd -48a. R8, with 2 known.

Although graded PR66 by PCGS, I believe it should be designated "MS" or "SP", as the dies had not yet been polished and the planchet was not burnished. (The obverse die was, in my opinion, polished after the "Essays" were struck, and before the 1827 B-1 Originals were struck.)

Baley · May 21, 2013 1:20AM

Wow! (this space reserved for further commentary on the 1827)

Here's an 1820 B5

This is my only R4 Capped Bust Quarter, a B-1.

scubafuel · May 21, 2013 7:34AM

The 1827 is incredible! How long have you owned it for? Anyone have a nice 1823 to go with it?

Here is an 1828 B-2. It's interesting that every coin with this reverse die is a tough variety.

MrEureka · May 21, 2013 7:43AM

I've had the 27 for about 7 years. A 23 would be nice, but what I really want is a gem 1827 B-1! Preferably the Garrett coin. Does anybody here know where that coin resides? Even if it's not for sale, I'd like to study it closely, mostly to see if there's any further evidence that my coin was struck before the B-1's.

Baley · June 1, 2013 4:16AM

Here's an 1806 B-7, R5

From Steve Tompkins' book:

"This reverse is somewhat of an anomaly. The legend was punched in [the Rev. H working die] utilizing different style and size letters than all of the other reverses except for Reverse I, which was only used for the 1806 B-8 die marriage [the rarest variety in the entire draped bust series]. Both of these reverse working dies were probably the last ones produced in 1806, or possibly the first ones produced. Also we find the re-use of the smaller star punch abandoned at the end of 1805."

"The early die stage [stage 1] with no reverse cracks [and missing the mysterious row of raised segments between stars 4-6 which appears in stages 2-5] is the rarest"

1835 Capped Bust Quarter "Houck's Panacea Baltimore" Maryland, Counterstamp, HT-140, Rarity-7.

This is a newly discovered date as up until now none have been known dated beyond 1819 on a capped bust quarter.

Baley · June 1, 2013 5:31AM

Fascinating find on an otherwise AG 1835.

Baley · June 9, 2013 3:53AM

Here's an 1806 B-10, R5

scubafuel · June 9, 2013 4:18AM

Good to see this thread is still kicking.
Here is 1821 B-2.

Very nice pickup!

scubafuel · June 9, 2013 6:44AM

I think you got a good price there. Even R-5 small size quarters don't seem to command much premium until XF-40 or so. That may change however.

Not my series at all but there are some really really nice coins in here!
