    Vertigo Did someone say bust?

    Is there a good site for determining the browning number of a draped bust quarter? I have one from 1806 I'm trying to attribute.

    Good question.
    I tend to just go to HA Archives and wade through the varieties sold until I find one that matches. There is probably a better way.

    Post an image.
    Make sure it's LARGE and SHARP.
    I've got the books to ID Early Quarters (1796-1938).

    A bit of wear but a very nice '06, thanks for sharing.

    I've got it pegged as a B-5.
    Rarity: 4+

    BTW, the reference I am using is "Early United States Quarters, 1796-1838" by Steve M. Tompkins, pub. 2008 by Tompkins & Destni, Inc.

    The 1831 is the B-2, rarity 2. The easiest PUP is the "2" of "25 C." It is the only reverse (B) used that year that has a flat base. All the other reverses used a "2" punch with a curled base. And Reverse B was only used with Obverse 2 that year.
