Perhaps some small size bust quarters? Post 'em if you got 'em!

Both are somewhat recent aquisitions, and they both have the same reverse die. (Sometimes refered to as the O/F because the "of America" is doubled.) 1834 B-1 and the 1833 B-2 (which always has die rust on the obverse.)

jezz QC ... is that all you have?!?
I have one too ... which is a farily recent purchase ... after all these years it was my first one
it spoke to me

Now wait a minute, didn't I sell that coin to RG? I am curious to know how you ended up with it (I know you were interested in it as well.) Do tell!
Nice coins everyone. I find it somewhat ironic that the B-7 that QuarterCollector owns (the one that is unlike the others) is in the worst condition, but probably worth more than all the other ones added up....strange the value of rarity no?! I would trade you my eye teeth for that one!
It's good to see some old friends in these posts! It's a great feeling to know your coins went to a good home!

You have a nice Browning 2 set in the works. I especially love your 1834 and 1837, DIBS

I used to own the above coin. I was the under-bidder on it when it appeared in the Norweb sale. I thought it was a Proof, but if not, an absolutely amazing business strike. The winning bidder submitted it to PCGS and it was graded MS65. I bought it from him and submitted it to PCGS, where it graded PR65. I sold it for approximately $35,000-$40,000. Years later I saw it in a PR66 holder and eventually in a PR68 Cameo holder, at multiples of my selling price.

I wonder what it looked like before the original surfaces were dipped off. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice coin, but a coin of that age should have some toning.
1832 was a date I found elusive - and decided to
collect just that date in small size Bust Quarters.
Here's a sampling:

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !

Edited to add: I am excluding G4 to VF35 coins from my observation. I am just talking about the higher grade pieces.
<< <i>It's interesting to note that among the XF to Unc. coins posted in this thread, a majority exhibit colored toning. It is strange that brightly colored bust quarters are apparently more common in the collections of board members than original, gray-brown coins. Anyone want to propose an explanation?

Because we all like color

I still had the picture from when I asked you about it and thought I would see what you would say if I put it on your thread as a joke
I agree. There are the dipped ones, and the ones that retoned colorfully a while after..... a good dip. These are often the coins that were dipped in the 1940 to 1990 era and sold through certain numismatic periodicals as "Choice BU." These retoned coins are now in favor with collectors due to the toning craze. A crusty AU58 to MS63 Bust quarter with the original grayish, slightly speckled toning, with full luster shining through, is a rare find indeed. Not everyone would appreciate original 1830s toning if they saw it, however.
<< <i>From what I have seen a lot of your AU/MS bust quarters are either dipped white or have vibrant color.

I do but they are very hard to come by.
