***Auction Highlight*** 1825/4/2 Browning-2 Superb Eye Appeal ; Excellent Strike . Capped Bust Quarter 25c Graded Select Unc By USCG. Up for Auction is the incredibly scarce and highly sought 1825/4/2 Capped Bust Quarter 25c. Per Joe O'Connor of PCGS : “The Capped Bust Quarters of 1825 were struck from three die pairs, which mated two obverses with three reverses. Five obverses were prepared for 1822, yet only one was employed to strike quarters for that year. Another was over-dated for use in 1823, and the final three were over-dated for use in 1824. However, only one 1824/2 obverse was used to strike 1824-dated quarters, in late 1823, with no quarters actually coined in 1824. This left two remaining, unused 1824/2 obverse dies, which were then over-dated once again, this time for 1825. Understandably, these 1825 over a jumble-of-numbers quarters have confused even the most diligent students of the series, until Steve Tompkins solved this puzzle with publication of his Early United States Quarters 1796-1838 (2008). Previously catalogued as 1825/2, 1825/3, or 1825/4, Tompkins argued successfully that both currently known 1825 obverses are leftovers from 1822 and 1824, and both are correctly 1825/4/2 overdates. PCGS estimates that less than 250 examples survive in all grades and under40 survive in uncirculated condition. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
