    Without a reference in hand, looks like this could be the B-8 Variety.

    Looks like a B-8, pretty tough variety. Heritage sold one in NGC F15 for $6500 in 2003, a VF25 sold for over 9K in 2006 (Reiver). Not too many collectors by die marriage of early quarters, but plenty who would like this one I suspect including me. Is it in a graded holder? The variety also can come with a reverse cud, one dealer I think has all three of the known ones with cuds and someone had paid 20K at some point for one of them. Not sure the current population total of the non-cud but it was recently ranked as an R6, but I', not sure if that up to date. Other forum members will know I suspect.

    Gorgeous example. If you cherry picked that coin anywhere near common variety price, huge forum "you suck" (that's a good thing)

    This is one of the few DB quarter varieties that continues to elude me..

    Definitely the B-8, which is an R6+. The Heritage figures above are quite outdated. I'd say your coin is worth between $15,000-$25,000 depending on the grade. What does it grade?

    Nice acquisition and definitely a B-8. I've sold three, one of which had the cud.

    Coin22lover: Congratulations on a very nice find! Yes, it is in fact a Browning 8 die marriage. It "appears" (hard to tell exactly) to be somewhat an intermediate state, I cannot tell if it displays the lower reverse crack at the base of 2 and U?



    The coin looks excellent, very, very few abrasions on the obverse. Just an overall nice wholesome beautifully toned example from what is shown. Excellent photography by the way.



    I do believe this make it number 23-24 in my census although I will need to go back and verify records on hand.



    I would like to know if I may have permission to use your photograph for my database records and if I (ever) go about publishing a photographic census at some point down the line? I would naturally give you full credits.



    In all regards,



    A very nice find.

    You are, by far, the best contemporary bust quarter cherry picker in existence. Your finds continue to amaze me. I love that your hard work and education of the series has paid off in some GREAT finds. Well done once again. We Are Not Worthy

    Third Known 1806 B-8 Quarter with Cud Discovered

    Rich Uhrich announced that a consignor (who wishes to remain anonymous) has discovered the third known 1806 B-8 quarter with cud. The B-8 die marriage is an R-6 and coins with this late die stage featuring the cud are quite rare. Uhrich stated that it is believed that the die crack causing the cud happened early in the die's life, so not many coins were produced from this die pair...which accounts for the coin's scarcity.

    Uhrich will auction the coin at the 2010 ANA Show in Boston using a sealed bid format. Images of the coin are below. As usual, you can click on the image in order to open a larger size image.

    Editor's addition 8/15/2010: The coin sold for $18,666. Congratulations to the new owner!

    There's a neat article on "COINLINK" that mentions this coin. Here's a link: Link to COINLINK article

    I believe, but am not sure, the same dealer now owns all three 1806 B-8's with large reverse cud.

    I am jealous since this is the only variety I am missing in the 1805,1806 & 1807 DBQs. Very nice looking coin and I, too, noticed the lovely toning. Very nice acquisition!!

    I, too, would like to know where you got it... Enquiring minds want to know image

    Nope not an B-8. I feel bad for you so if you want I can give you what you paid for it back and you can walk away whole.

    PS: Congratulations and best Browning find I can remember in a long time.
    I have plans....sometimes

    Truly a terrific find! Any 1806 B-8 is a true grand slam but a nice one is especially wonderful...congratulations. I know of several "discovered" in the past fifteen years though yours is the highest grade amongst those discoveries IMO...this includes the two cuds which have been recently sold. I too would be especially interested in determining if there is a crack indicative of an intermediate die state between the early state and the cud as it has not been previously documented.

    Great find and congrats, pays off to attribute all DBQ's hitting the market on popular auction sites. Lesson learned for the rest of us.

    Best, SH

    PS The seller does not offer returns so you are stuck with it image

    Well, this was a good thread...

    So there's about 25 1806 B-8's known... What is the highest grade?

    Hope he has coin in hand because no doubt someone will squeal to the seller about what he just sold for pennies on the dollar
