Seated Liberty Quarter guys - here's a real NewB question - What does this Briggs Attribution mean?

Just purchased this coin in a group and it was marked as "Briggs 1-B". I do not see any CPK variety other tan a doubled MM, which I do not see. I see it sold in a Heritage Auction for $402.50 - about double the value of "normal" examples. Can someone enlighten me on this?

    What you have is obverse 1 paired with reverse B as listed in the Liberty Seated book by Larry Briggs from 1991. The toughest pairing to find is the 3-E die with the filled MM.

    Now that's a cool O MM.

    I'm guessing that mine is a the common coin - is that right? But the old high price is still a mystery.

    I don't understand why it sold for so much...sorry. I do love the filled mintmark reverse though!
