1825 B-1 Bust Quarter G-T-G : 200 Year Anniversary
I'm late with the 200th anniversary of Browning varieties for this year. With only one variety in 1824, 1825 isn't as lonely for bust quarter variety collectors as 1823, 1824, or say 1826 or 1827. The 1825 Browning-1 variety, the first of three, is called an R-5 in both the Rea/Peterson/Karoleff/Kovach book on bust… -

I guess your grade is a 62 maybe 63 - below is my B-1- (unforunately - its a horrible pic) -

Love that coin! When I was collecting Bust quarters, it took seemingly forever to find an 1825 B-1 in a medium circulated grade without damage.

Beautiful example.

I'll guess the example posted was an NGC 58, and now a PCGS 55.… -

The example I posted, from the Brentwood Park Estate, was NGC AU58, which actually crossed at PCGS to AU58+, an unusual occurrence to me. It looks like @marmac and @scubafuel have the later die state, while my example and @EastonCollection have the earlier die state. Kudos to scubafuel for picking up the dentil tracks on… -

@1TwoBits Happy Birthday! @EastonCollection Great example of B1 and some dentil tracks as well. This B1 example is my current 1825 quarter in my VF/XF date set. -

Gorgeous, but too bad it was cracked out of an old ngc slab -

Tough coin especially in that condition. -
Re: 1825 B-1 Bust Quarter G-T-G : 200 Year Anniversary
From what I’ve seen, the “filled 5” die state is 2-3 times harder to find than the earlier die state. -
