1806/5 B-1 Quarter, MS62
Prominent
Guide Book Overdate

1806/5 25C B-1, R.2, MS62 NGC. Browning-1 is the sole 1806/5 variety, and it is a blatant overdate with the knob, curve, and crossbar of the 5 underdigit evident. This is a splendid Draped Bust type coin. The luminous surfaces are peripherally toned with vibrant splashes of blue and gold while the centers are a much lighter gold to silver in color. Fairly well struck on all but the uppermost hair curls of Liberty, and we note strong breast and neck feathers on the eagle. Both the obverse and reverse show clash marks, particularly so on the reverse which shows much of the outline of A few minuscule marks do not significantly detract. Always in strong demand for the overdate feature, and a scarce coin to find so well preserved. Census: 2 in 62, 6 finer (6/23).
