Good. This lilac gray example is well circulated but problem-free. The surfaces and rims are smooth and free of marks. This scarce variety was not discovered until after Browning had published his seminal work on early Quarters. An important opportunity for the specialist to add an eye appealing example to his collection. |

1807 Br.2 (R-3). Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$8,000.00 |
Light gold toning on the obverse, the reverse mostly untoned and satiny. Well struck with even the most intricate part of the design fully struck. There is some weakness though on the denticles, which is not unusual for these early issues. A really attractive example for the collector of Early American coins. |

1828 Br.1. Die State III. Brilliant Uncirculated and wholly reflective
|
BU |
$3,750.00 |
The present coin has long been considered a Proof striking, but present research casts some doubt on that status. Nevertheless, the reflective nature of the fields and quality of the strike are indicative of a possible specimen strike or some sort of presentation issue. Proofs are known from this die pair, and many high grade survivors exhibit reflective mirror fields as seen here. As... more |

Extremely Fine. Deep lavender and gray tones bathe the smooth fields, with hints of light rose and gold hugging the design motifs, stars and lettering. The surfaces are a bit glossy, and might be indicative of a very old cleaning, while some circulation tics have been minimized by wear and by the richly attractive toning. The 1860'S' is a major rarity in the Liberty Seated Quarter series, and... more |
