through it.

will be auctioning this coin at ANA, with a minimum bid of $12,000.

1822
Quarter B-2 R-5, PCGS VG-8. The coin is actually a Fine-15,
but has an toned-over X-shaped scratch above the eagle's left (facing) wing.
A very, very rare variety usually found in Good or worse and/or with
significant problems. This coin is rare by itself but even
rarer in a PCGS holder. Since 2001 Heritage has sold eleven of
these, 2 of which were PCGS (one AG) and 2 NGC (both Unc.) A
rare opportunity to obtain a very rare coin. Greysheet bid is
$2,250 in VG and $3,350 in Fine; I will pay way, way, way, and way
more than those numbers for any problem-free 1822 B-2's offered.
Without the scratch, the coin would probably grade VF-20
and it would be priced around $40,000. |
$17,500
|

Quarter B-2 R-5, AG obv. / G-4 rev., scratched over the

1825
Quarter B-2 R-2, Good-6, with an intermediate die state of the cud
at the arrows on the reverse. Also has a long
pinscratch on reverse. I used to think that the B-2 cud and
the B-3 cud were equally scarce, but the last three year period has
convinced me that the B-2 cud is significantly scarcer. There
are a few collectors trying to get every die state of these cuds.

light orange on the obverse, with the reverse having rose and light
green toning around the rim from K-2 to K-8. I'm not sure why
both the 1832 varieties have the same rarity rating, because I see
about 4 or 5 B-2's for every B-1 I see.
