Need Attribution Help on 1834 Capped Bust Quarter

Can any quarter connoisseurs provide the Browning or Duphorne [and die stage, if possible]. [My references were recently lost with luggage.]

Any other opinions are also welcome.

Thanks

Well, I like the coin. I think it's beautiful and would be in the AU-55+ range.

From what I can tell it's a B-4 (R1), due to the reverse die crack at the eagle's right wing.

I agree with STONE on the attribution: B-4. With regard to the die state, it is hard to say from the images. Do you see any die clashes on the obverse? I don't see any in the images provided, so I will assume you have Breen's D/S-II. I like the looks of your 1834 quarter. How is the luster?

By the way......WELCOME to the forum! Out of curiosity, do you only collect 1834 coinage?

That would be cool. I've thought of doing 1832 only from time to time

Yes, 1834 only. I focus on US but, will pick up some darksiders from time to time.

The luster is solid through out the the fields and devices. This example was recently pulled out of a early generation PCGS holder labeled 55 but, with my rose colored glasses see it as 58/63.

I really like how the cracks breakup the toning and it [the toning] appears to be pretty deep with transitions that would indicate to me that it is ''original.''

Thanks to all who helped out.

1834, thanks for telling us the grade.

It helps me grade the example I just purchased, which is slightly more worn than yours which would go either 50 or 53 (IMO it's a 53).

I do think your coin has a strong chance of 58-ing upon another submission.
