1805 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. NGC graded AU-50. B-1. Lovely blue toning on both sides gleams iridescently. 121,394 minted (5 varieties) in 1805. The B-1 has a special place in the hearts of Draped Bust quarter dollar collectors. Tangentially, it is an elusive die marriage. But what is most important is the reverse is the same as that used to produce the key date 1804. Pop 1; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,700.

1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. . Browning-9, late state with obv. die break. PCGS graded EF-45. Light golden toning and a very attractive example. Were it not for a thin hairline in the field from the eye to a star, we'd say this has exceptionally smooth, problem free surfaces. Some die clash marks from the reverse show as a "collar" on Liberty's lower neck (PCGS # 5314) .

1806/5 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Lovely deep royal blue with lighter golden highlights on both sides. An extremely rare coin in this grade, the obverse and reverse are sharply struck especially on Liberty's hair; weak only at the obverse stars. Struck from lightly clashed dies, noticeable on the reverse. The overdate feature is sharp and clear.

1836 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Browning-3, R-1. Displays a hint of light toning on both sides. Typically frosty for the issue, the nearly ice-white surfaces are exceedingly choice with few abrasions, hence the desirable '64 grade. Deficiency isn't in the cards, either, when it comes to this coin's detail, in fact, outstanding is the word to describe the striking detail on the main hair curls, the cap folds, the drapery clasp. Only the front part of the bust shows weakness, as do several of the stars. Much of this may be due to the cracked state of the obverse die (see below). The reverse is exceedingly bold with outstanding detail in the feathers, the claws, as well as the shield, both horizontal lines and vertical stripes of which show completely. A desirable specimen. Pop 6; 1 finer in 65 (PCGS # 5355) .

Die characteristics: Star 7 points to the center of the lower curl. On the reverse the branch stem is centered above the right side of the C in the denomination. The period is far from the C. The eagle has a tongue. A late die state, with multiple cracks on each side.

Logan: "From unique obverse and reverse dies, not used for any other die marriages. Among all small size Capped Bust quarter dollars, only this variety and 1831 B-1 were not die linked with any other varieties." The obverse has a very light crack joining the drapery and stars 1 through 5. Another extremely faint die crack joins tops of the date. Perfect reverse. Several others noted as well.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.

1836 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-62 Prooflike B-2. Not listed in the NGC population report and therefore is possibly the only Prooflike example graded by the service. Untoned. Most likely pop 1.

Die characteristics: On Browning-2, the digit 6 is wholly left of curl; no tongue in eagle, stem over center of C. This is from the late die state and is pretty impressive just for that: The obverse has several prominent die cracks, joining and crossing others. A faint crack over the cap joins stars 8 through 10 to the border over star 12. Another very faint crack joins stars 11 through 13 to the field below. A heavy crack joins border to hair curl passing left of star 13 and crossing the crack through stars. This die crack crosses the drapery to the hair curl on Liberty's neck. A prominent die crack from border to drapery passes through Liberty's neck and cheek to the B of LIBERTY and cap above. A branch of this crack passes through R and the cap to the border above star 7, crossing the first crack above. The reverse has a bisecting crack through left side of F to neck, shield, claw, and olive leaves, returning to the border. Another crack through the right upright of U and the left wing, joins the first crack in the shield.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.

Razor-sharp detail is seen on much of the 1862-dated pieces struck at Philadelphia (but not at San Francisco), and here it is clear that the dies were spaced at the correct distance apart to insure strong metal flow into all areas including the stars.

1871 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64. Lovely blue and lilac toning. A wonderful toned coin. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin was fully brought up by the dies, including the stars and all central motifs. It is for this reason that early collectors focused on collecting the Proofs and neglected the business strike seated Liberty coins. They are incredibly beautiful when carefully made and well preserved like this handsome 1871-dated piece. Only 960 Proofs struck. Pop 27; 20 finer.

1874 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 66. Old green holder. Lovely blue, green and golden toning. Only 700 Proofs minted. A wonderful superb example of the arrows Proof quarter. Could be a run-a-way coin. Population 10; 3 finer in Proof 67 (PCGS # 5575) .

Historic note: The Coinage Act of 1873 changed the United States policy with respect to silver. Before the Act, the United States had backed its currency with both gold and silver, and it minted both types of coins. The Act moved the United States to the gold standard, which meant it would no longer buy silver or mint silver coins from the public on demand (that is, "free coinage"), but instead only from approved (think, politically connected) Western mine owners.

Yet for all of the later rhetoric by advocates of free silver coinage (primarily in 1876-1877), the 1873 Coinage Act actually favored silver coinage. It did abolish the silver dollar (which was not in circulation anyway), the three-cent silver (trime), and the half dime, but the latter two were of little importance considering the new five-cent pieces of copper-nickel.

As in the case of the 1853-5 "With Arrows" silver coins, arrows were added to the obverses of the 1873 and 1874 silver quarter dollars to facilitate the sorting of the old weight coins (those struck prior to the April 1873 Mint Act) from the new weight coins. This was mostly a matter of expedience at the Mint and Treasury. According to Bowers, "after April 1, no more of the old weight coins could be released, as they were now of illegal weight under the new measure. The arrows enabled Mint and Treasury personnel to readily distinguish the new coins, which were to be shipped out immediately, from the old coins, which were to be held back, eventually to be melted."
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
