New Early Quarter Discoveries


This page is dedicated to publishing any new Bust Quarter information discovered after the publication of the EARLY UNITED STATES QUARTERS 1796 - 1838 book. The timeline for these items begins on June 1st, 2008, the date of the last changes made prior to printing. The author will add items as they are found, and credit will be listed for those collectors who wish to share their discoveries.

Items listed will include confirmation of die stages that were listed with a question mark, new unlisted die stages, new die marriages & re-marriages, unlisted error coins, new condition census coins, updated pedigrees for 1823 & 1827, etc.

Picture1818 B-10 Reverse DS-5
1805 B-3 — New Obverse die stage after DS-5.  Light crack from right side of 8 through 05 into field under bust. (7/25/2008) 


1818 B-10 — Reverse DS-4: “Die crack across shield?”: Although verification of this die stage is still not with just a crack across the shield, an even later die stage was discovered at the 2008 ANA.  There is a reverse die crack that begins inside the left side of the shield. This crack continues left to the inside of the left wing and right, across the shield, through the right wing, and between RI in AMERICA to the rim.  It also looks like the reverse die was lapped prior to this stage, as the clash marks are no longer present. This will become DS-5. (7/30/2008)
 

1828 B-1 — Reverse DS-3: Need to add, “Light crack from rim above N to top of IT in UNITED.” Discovered by Denis Loring. (9/18/2008) 

1834 B-1 — Reverse DS-5: Add new diagonal crack from inside top of left wing down through left wing. (11/25/2008) 

1835 B-2 — Obverse DS-4: New die stage now showing clashed bars at the ear.  Discovered by Richard Kurtz and verified at the FUN show. (1/9/2009)

1815 B-1 — E & L’s: The “L” counterstamp comes on at least three separate die stages; no clashes; single clash; and double clash.  Discovered by Glenn Marx (2/10/2009), confirmed at the Los Angeles ANA on examples owned by Denis Loring. (8/04/2009)

1815 B-1 — Die Stages: The preceding discovery has also changed the die stage listings for this die marriage. When clashing and lapping are involved, it is difficult to always see and understand what occurred and when. Here is the new tentative listing for this marriage: 
 

OBV: 
1.   DIE PERFECT. 
2.  DIE LIGHTLY CLASHED. 
 3.  DIE LIGHTLY CLASHED AGAIN, NOW  SHOWING TWO SETS OF CLASHES. 
 4.  DIE LAPPED, DIE LINE AT FORE CURL AND BOTH LIGHT CLASHES REMOVED.
 5.  DIE HEAVILY CLASHED YET AGAIN, BARS @ EAR, ARROWHEADS BEHIND & 
      ABOVE CAP, SCROLL ABOVE DATE.

 6.  DIE LAPPED, MOST CLASHING REMOVED. (This stage may not exist) 

REV: 
1.  DIE PERFECT. 
2.  DIE LIGHTLY CLASHED.
3.  DIE LIGHTLY CLASHED AGAIN, NOW SHOWING  TWO SETS OF CLASHES. 
4.  DIE LAPPED, ALL CLASHING REMOVED. 
5.  DIES HEAVILY CLASHED AGAIN.

Discovered by Glenn Marx & Denis Loring, and confirmed at the LA ANA. (8/04/2009)

1818 B-8 — New Obverse Die Stage: New die stage between DS-1 & DS-2. New crack from outside point of S9 to rim next to dentil. This crack is also present on all 1818 B-9 & B-10's. Discovered by  George Polizio (11/10/2013)

1838 B-1
— New Obverse Die Stage: 2nd clash showing at chin, throat & in field above bust.
Discovered by spacehayduke on the PCGS boards (02/21/2016)

1822 B-3 - NEW DIE MARRIAGE! Announced by NGC, a new combination of known dies for the 1822 date. 1822 Obverse 1 paired with Reverse T (prior to it's reworking). (06/06/2017)

1818 B-10 — Reverse DS-4:
“Die crack across shield?”:
 Verification of this die stage is now confirmed by a recent coin found at the Denver ANA. The crack is from lower crossbar just to the right side of the 4th stripe, angling down across the left side of the shield, through the left side of the eagle and into the field below the left wing. The reverse die clash is still present. (8/02/2017)
