   1827/3/2 Bust Quarters: Part 2 As mentioned in my previous post, 1827/3/2 capped bust quarters are comprised of two die marriages. This post will begin to discuss the Browning-2 die marriage. 1827/3/2 B-2 quarters are often referred to as “restrikes,” because most of the coins were struck sometime in the 1860s or 1870s and…

   1827/3/2 Bust Quarters: Part 1 The 1827/3/2 capped bust quarter is the rarest US quarter date, edging out the 1823/2 that I posted about previously.

   1827/3/2 Bust Quarters: Part 4 This post will cover the fourth and final type of 1827/3/2 bust quarters: the B-2 copper “restrikes”. These were also struck during the 1860s or 1870s, and are prime examples of the US Mint’s shenanigans to satisfy collector demand for this rare date. Something interesting to note is that the…

   The original quarter number eight was sold late last year and crossed to PCGS Proof 62 in January 2022. Updated photos available on CoinFacts. Thanks again for your in depth discussion on these fantastic coins.
