BUST QUARTERS

We believe we have the largest selection of Bust Quarters in the country!  We just acquired a collection of lower-grade quarters that included all dates except 1796, 1823 and 1827!   We have an 1822 25/50 in a PCGS holder (VG-8)!   We have over 150 Bust Quarters for you to select from incl. scarcer and rarer dates and die varieties.  We have two 1804, four 1805 B-5's, several of the rare 1806 varieties, incl. B-4 thru B-7, also 1818 B-9 (3 early die states and 2 with the arrows clash), 1821 B-2, 1824/2, 1825/2 B-1, 1825 B-3 with the cud in the terminal state, 1828 25/50, 1831 B-7 and 1836 B-5!    Buy your Bust Quarters now, as at some point, demand and then prices may increase (particularly for the rarer varieties) now that the new book "Early United States Quarters 1796 - 1838" by Steve Tompkins has been released.  This great book is on sale on our "Books" page.

If you have any rare variety Bust Quarters for sale such as 1821 B-6, 1822 B-2, 1825/3 with "E" counterstamp, 1825 B-2 with a cud at the arrows on the reverse, or 1837 B-6, please offer them to us!  We are very active buyers in this series!
