1821 Quarter B-5 R-4 PCGS Fine-12.  A few scratches esp. in the obv. fields, but still an attractive example of this scarce variety.   $1,000 was 1350 
Quantity:
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
Quantity:
1822 Quarter B-2 R-5, AG obv. / G-4 rev., scratched over the denomination.  Still a rare coin and definitely more affordable than any other 1822 B-2 on the market.      $3,250

Quantity:
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.        LOWERED PRICE                 $1,550 was 1750
Quantity:

 

1825 Quarter B-2 R-2, PCGS VG-8.  What percentage of large size Bust quarters can't get into a graded holder?  I would guess that percentage is quite high.  Here is an opportunity to obtain a PCGS-graded Bust quarter for a decent price.  $325

Quantity:
1832 Quarter B-1 R-2, AU-55, slight rim filing at 3 o'clock on the reverse.  Nice toning, silver mixed with olive, light green and 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.       $800 was 895

1832 Quarter B-2 R-2, NGC XF-45.  A few toned-over scratches, but nothing significant.  Beautiful original toning, a lot of eye appeal.     $550 was 600
