Description
1806/5 B-1 Quarter, MS63+
Dies of 1805 B-4
1806/5 25C B-1, R.2, MS63+ NGC. Before the obverse and
reverse dies of 1805 Browning-4 were reused in 1806, a 6 was
punched over the 5 in the obverse die, creating this overdate
variety. There were only a few instances when previously used dies
were modified for further coinage. Others include 1806/5 half
dollars, and similar quarter eagles. The reason for such
modification of previously used dies may have been a lack of
available die steel, but why didn't the Mint simply continue using
the unmodified dies as was done so often in the early days of
Philadelphia Mint operations?The 1806/5 B-1 quarter is a plentiful variety, although few survive as fine as this example. The central details are sharp with the usual peripheral weakness. Both sides exhibit pristine surfaces beneath light golden-brown toning. Census: 3 in 63 (1 in 63+), 4 finer (11/15).
