Browning Plate Coin
Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint Plate Coin
1819 25C Small 9 MS64+ NGC. CAC. B-3, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R.
Green. Current Condition Census information records just 10 Mint
State examples of the 1819 B-3 quarter, and the Eric P. Newman
example is the fourth finest of those 10 coins. This piece is a
late die state with extensive obverse die cracks as recorded in
Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint. This piece
is also the second finest 1819 quarter that NGC has certified
(10/13). This near-Gem is plated in Early Quarter Dollars of the
United States Mint, and it is also the Browning plate coin.Unlike the Large 9 obverse of the 1819 B-2 quarter, the B-3 is known as the Small 9, or more properly the "Normal 9" as it is the same size as the other digits. The obverse exhibits a lovely blend of steel-gray and delicate blue toning, with the similar reverse showing additional iridescent toning.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
