<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3184776, member: 74849&quot;]They are certainly good enough to attribute the coin!... Browning-4, R1. It looks to be a very nice specimen. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin (Browning-1, R1) has one of the more interesting reverses used for the small capped bust quarters. This reverse was first used in 1833 and is often called the O/F variety, though the markedly different eagle (and lack of a period after “25 C”) is far more noticeable. This is also the only reverse with two line stripes (“two pale gules”) present in the shield. This reverse is thought to have possibly been made by Christian Gobrecht. </p><p><br /></p><p>Part way through making 1834 quarters, the A in STATES and the first A in AMERICA were filled in this die. Eventually the die was lapped and the O/F was removed. </p><p><br /></p><p>While 1834 B-1 is one of the most common (if not THE most common) die marriages for this series, its other peculiarities make up for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
