Description:: 1836 25C MS67 S NGC. B-3, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Five different die marriages were used in 1835 in striking a reported 472,000 quarters. Four of those die marriages were known to pioneer Bust quarter researcher Ard W. Browning in 1925. The fifth die marriage known, 1836 B-5, was discovered by Robert Spangler in 1988. Ranked High R.6 today, it is by far the rarest variety of the year. The B-2 and B-3 marriages are the most frequently seen for the year, which saw the use of four obverse dies. The obverse of the B-3, used only in this die pairing, shows star 13 about centered between the curl and the dentils. The left edge of the lowest hair curl is over the left side of the 6. The date is punched relatively low, the lowest of any die for the year. Three reverse dies were used in 1836. This reverse die is again solely seen in the B-3 variety. The 25C is low and closer to the dentils than to the eagle; the eagle has a tongue. The arrow feather is over the right half of the 2 in 25C, and the olive stem is over the right half of the C. This Superb Gem with the added NGC Star designation was stuck from an advanced state of the dies on each side, showing a multitude of interesting die cracks designated as Die State d in Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint. This piece is the plate coin in that reference. It is the finest certified1836 B-3 quarter, and it is by three grade points the finest certified circulation strike for the date. Concentric multicolored rings encircle Liberty on the obverse of this beautiful, originally toned coin. The reverse is toned an even light to medium gold, with blues and deeper amber-gold at the rims. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a.

2972. Lot 33355

Description:: 1835 25C MS67 S NGC. B-2, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. The Mint struck nearly 2 million quarters in 1835, a total that was the highest mintage by far for Bust quarters of any year. Five obverse and six reverse dies were used to create eight die marriages known for the year. The 1835 B-1 obverse die was used for the B-1, B-2, and B-3 marriages. The 8 in the date is low and the 3 is high, so the B-2 is known as the "Uneven Date." Star 6 and the 3 in the date are recut, and the 5 in the date is completely under the curl. On the reverse, the eagle has no tongue, and the C in 25C is slightly higher than the 25. The base of the second T in STATES is slightly higher than the bases of the A and E. The arrow feather is over the right half of the 2, and the olive stem over the right half of the C. The arrowheads are small and somewhat distant from the rim. This coin was struck from Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint Die State a: A faint obverse die crack passes from the rim under the 8 through the base of the 5 to the rim near star 13. The reverse die crack goes from STA to the eagle's right wing and through RIC. This amazing Superb Gem coin with the NGC Star designation is the plate coin in Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint, is the Browning plate coin and comes from the Browning Collection. This piece is the finest B-2 certified by three grade points and the finest certified 1835 quarter, a coin that should certainly set a record price for the date. Bidders should act accordingly. The obverse shows a silver center framed with rings of amber-gold, aqua, jade, violet, and russet nearest the rims. The reverse is also silver in the centers, with russet-gold and cobalt-blue peripheral accents. As expected from the grade and Star designation, the eye appeal is simply off the charts.

2974. Lot 33354

Description:: 1834 25C MS66 S NGC. B-1, FS-901, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Five die marriages are known for the 1834 quarters, the present coin classified B-1, the so-called "1834, O Over F in OF" type listed in the Guide Book. The obverse die was used twice, to strike 1834 B-1 and B-2, but the B-2 was likely struck first. The B-1 obverse shows the left edge of Liberty's curl over the upright of the 4 in the date. Star 7 is recut. Star 13 is low and close to the bust of Liberty -- closer than on any other 1834-dated obverse die. The reverse used to strike this die marriage was previously used to create the 1833 B-2. Each shield stripe has only two lines (two pale gules), and no period appears after the C in 25C; both are key attribution points for this reverse. The legend is repunched between the D and S of UNITED STATES, the basis for the "1834, O Over F in OF" designation. The eagle has no tongue and its claw tips are doubled. This coin was struck from Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint Die State P (perfect dies), showing no die cracks or clashing, although the top-left upright of the M in AMERICA is missing and the first A in AMERICA is filled. The present Newman Collection example, certified MS66 S NGC, is Browning plate coin for the B-1 and is from the Browning Collection. This coin is the finest certified for the B-1 die marriage and is the second-finest regular-strike 1834 quarter. Delicate light gold toning covers both sides of this original coin. The obverse periphery is toned in a beautiful array of greenish-gold and blue, while the reverse rims show attractive blue and gold patina. Census: 7 in 66 (1 in 66+, 2 in 66 S), 2 finer (10/13).

2975. Lot 33353

Description:: 1833 25C MS66 S NGC. CAC. B-2, FS-901, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. The B-2 is one of two known die marriages for 1833. This example certified MS66 S will likely set a record price for an 1833 quarter. The Guide Book calls this major variety the "1833, O Over F in OF," and its inclusion there will appeal to the many collectors who seek those listed die pairings. The obverse die is the same as used for the 1833 B-1. The reverse die is new and would be reused once more, for the 1834 B-1 variety. This reverse shows the vertical stripes in the shield comprising two lines each (two pale gules), the only such quarter reverse die. No period appears after the C, a key attribution point compared to the 1833 B-1. Repunching in the reverse legend shows between the D and S, F and A, and the tops of O and F are connected. The eagle has no tongue, and the eagle's claw tips are doubled. This coin was struck from Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint Die State b, the obverse showing the familiar "ear bars" die clashing; die rust in several areas, notably right of the date and around stars 5-7; and a light crack from the top fold of the Liberty cap into the field toward star 7. The Newman Collection 1833 B-2 is the finest certified for the die marriage and the finest certified 1833 quarter. It is also the plate coin in Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint and in Browning. All the elements are present for this exceptional coin to set a new record price. Spectacular rainbow colors adorn the obverse of this piece, the silver center surrounded by aqua, mint, jade, saffron, cherry, and violet. The reverse is medium silver and gold with splashes of amber and ice-blue about the rims. A remarkable early quarter. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G.

2977. Lot 33352

Description:: 1833 25C MS65 NGC. B-1, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. In 1833 only 156,000 quarters were minted, the smallest yearly total for the Reduced Diameter subtype from 1831 to 1838. A new master hub was used for the obverse on all 1833 quarters. One obverse and two reverses were used to strike only two die marriages for the year. This obverse die was used for both die marriages dated 1833, B-1 and B-2. Star 7 points to the lower edge of the upper curl above Liberty's forehead. The left side of the second 3 in the date is even with the left side of the curl above. The reverse die was used to strike four die marriages, three in 1831 and one in 1832. The two reverse dies employed in 1833 can be differentiated as follows: the reverse die used for 1833 B-1 has three-line stripes (three pale gules) in the shield and a period after the C in 25C; there are two-line stripes (two pale gules) on the 1833 B-2 reverse and no period after the C. This specimen was struck from Early Quarter Dollars Die State a, showing die rust on the reverse between the last A in AMERICA and the highest arrowhead. This Gem B-1 example from the Newman Collection is the finest-graded circulation strike of this variety. It is the plate coin in Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint and Browning and is from the Browning Collection. The obverse is toned mostly in a nice medium gold with blue toning about the rims. The reverse is medium silver with gold at the periphery. The strike is sharp overall, as most of the star centers show save for stars 1-3, and the eagle feathers on the reverse are quite well-detailed. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $2.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $17,625.00 .

Description:: 1832 25C MS65 NGC. B-2, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. A total of 320,000 quarters were minted in 1832, apparently all from two die pairs, although some of the pieces struck in the year may have been dated 1831.
