In actuality, the two rarest quarters in terms of number of examples still in existence are the 1827/3/2 and 1823/2 Capped Bust quarters. While the 1827/3/2 is rarer…

   Nice review NSP. I agree completely that the 1823/2 and 1827/3 are the most important quarters in the American series. For their level of rarity for early American silver they have few rivals, especially for a date set. IMHO they are very undervalued.
