1822 Capped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-5. 25/50 C. VG-10 (PCGS). CAC.，A wholly original and thoroughly pleasing example of this scarce early quarter variety. Warm olive-charcoal obverse toning gives way to equally appealing, albeit lighter pewter gray patina on the reverse. Denticulation is complete around both sides, if faint on the obverse, and all devices are fully outlined and readily appreciable. We even note some bolder definition in the more protected areas of Libertys hair and the eagles plumage. Uncommonly smooth for a Large Size Capped Bust quarter that saw this extensive circulation, series specialists would be wise to pursue this offering with vigor.<p>The Philadelphia Mint used one obverse and two reverse dies in two marriages to strike approximately 64,080 quarters bearing the 1822 date. Of the two varieties Browning-2, offered here, is by far the scarcer and more popular in numismatic circles. The reverse of this variety is a blundered denomination with a 25 punched over a still readily evident 50. The poor execution of this correction might explain this varietys rarity, i.e. few examples were struck before the die was retired. On the other hand, the Mint did resurrect this blundered reverse for the 1828 B-3 quarter, also a scarce variety, yet not quite as rare as its 1822 B-2 counterpart.，PCGS# 5333. NGC ID: 23RH.，，
