Bust Quarters
1836 25C B-2, R.2, MS62 NGC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Tompkins Die State 6/1. The lengthy obverse die cracks are characteristic of the Browning-2 marriage. The variety is plentiful in VF and XF, but attractive Mint State examples are rare. The present satiny specimen has delightful ruby-red, sky-blue, and autumn-gold toning. Consequential contact is confined to a slender field line east of the shield. Among the finest-known examples of the die marriage.
