In continued tribute to the 200 year anniversary of 1818 coinage, this Bust Quarter Guess-The-Crossover features the 1818 Browning 2 variety. It has a prominent die crack from rim to star 10-9-8 and over Liberty's cap to star 7. The reverse has a crack from the shield to the lowest arrowhead and rim.
Feel free to guess the NGC and PCGS grades for fun if you'd like, along with any comments. Also, if you have an 1818 B-2, please post a picture of it.

I love the look of that coin! XF 45 would be my guess.
N50
P45
VF 30
and a great coin at that !
Looks at least AU-50 to me...and gorgeous!
Very nice 200 year old coin.....just amazing how preserved some of our coins are....Thanks to collectors for most of them...
Cheers, RickO
VF, maybe better, I've had these that look original, with more meat, weak luster on surfaces, probably translates to sub-EF, hard to tell from the images.
Lots of meat on that coin, including the bust, clasp and drapery lines and on the reverse wing feathers. Weakness in brow and on hair curls. Still, it looks lustrous. Call me crazy but I'll say 53 at either service with a bump for originality. I really like that coin.

VF 35 is what I see.
I'll take all the VF's you got that look like this coin.
AU50 - AU53 Bet she is a looker in hand.
45
XF 45 here.
N50 -> P50 would be my guess.
I'm a little surprised at the people handing out VF grades. The curls look a little flat but there is way to much detail here for anything below a high XF in my opinion.
I love the color! Pair a great variety and a great looking coin and you have a specimen to be proud of.

Me too, I'll buy them all day long, especially at VF prices.

I'm in the 45 camp
A couple of you were right there with AU53 (TPRC & USMoneyLover), with most close in AU range. This piece was in an NGC AU55 holder and crossed to PCGS AU53.
This coin had the Pete Tremblay pedigree on the NGC holder. Does anyone have the June 2006 ANR catalog where the Pete Tremblay Collection looks to have been sold? I have the June 2005 ANR catalog for the Cardinal sale of Early Silver Dollars, but not the June 2006 catalog.
Thanks for your comments.
