***Auction Highlight*** 1837 Browning 4 R-3 Very Late Die State Capped Bust Quarter 25c Graded vf++ By USCG. Up for auction is the scarce 1837 Capped Bust Quarter 25c, Browning 4 variety., R.3. The left edge of the curl aligns with the right side of the 7. The reverse shows the branch tip even with the C in the denomination. It is also the very Late die state, showing a long, fairly straight die crack that bisects the obverse, from the lower rim left of the date and right of star 1, diagonally upward through the bust, field, cheek, throat, cheek, curls, to the cap and back to the rim. The reverse shows a crack from D STATE to the rim. The B-4 variety is a median one in terms of rarity among the five known die marriages for 1837, neither common nor rare. The reverse die crack is unsurprising, given that this doughty die was used earlier to strike Bust quarters in 1835 (B-8) and 1836 (B-1, B-5) before its use for the 1837 B-1, B-3, and this variety A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
