Description
1833 B-1 Quarter Dollar, MS65
Among the Finer-Known of the Variety
Plate Coin in Early Quarter Dollars and Browning
1833 25C B-1, R.2, MS65 NGC. 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. The reverse die was used to strike four die marriages, three in 1831 and one in 1832. 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 among the finer-graded circulation strikes 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. Census for the variety: 1 in 65, 0 finer (11/19).
