Owner's Comments

1806/5. Browning 1. This obverse die was used in 1805 as Browning 4. It was softened at year's end by annealing, and overdated to 1806/5. The reverse die was previously used in 1805 as Browning 4 and was later used in 1807 as Browning 1. Broken right foot of " I " and left foot of " T " in Liberty. Broken left foot of 1 in date. Broken right foot of " I " in America on reverse. Die state II with clash marks at branch, berry and top leaves. A very nice strike with the eagle's breast feathers showing. A superb Draped Bust Quarter. CAC sticker. Purchased from Harry Laibstain Rare Coins at the 2013 ANA.

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

This is the only overdate among the Draped Bust Quarter Dollars and, as such, it is very popular with collectors. The overdate is clearly visible to the naked eye, even on worn specimens. Despite its popularity, the 1806/5 Quarter commands only a small premium over the regular type.

Approximately two dozen Mint State 1806/5 Quarters have survived, most often in MS62 to MS64. The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census starts at MS63 and tops out at MS66 with the remarkable T. James Clarke/Knoxville Collection/D. Brent Pogue example.
