JR-10. R6+. Experimental Raised Rim Specimen Strike. Striking visual appeal with rainbow colored original surfaces. Fascinating early mint experiment that represents perhaps the first closed collar silver coinage. This example is perhaps the third finest known.

Original B-1 R.7 CAC. Variety, Ex: Boyd. Classic Silver Rarity, Nine Examples Known. This delightful Choice proof exhibits deeply reflective fields, even in the tiny spaces between the shield stripes. The central devices display razor-sharp definition and rich mint frost, but some stars show incomplete radials. The coin is well-centered. Vivid shades of cerulean-blue, champagne-gold, burnt-orange, and sea-green toning enhance the mirrored surfaces. Variety: All Original 1827 quarters were struck from the same pair of dies. The variety was designated as B-1 by Ard W. Browning in his seminal work on the series. The B-1 reverse features a Curl Base 2 in the denomination, while the B-2 Restrikes all display a Square Base 2. The 1827 B-1 obverse die was produced by overdating the 1823/2 B-1 obverse. Population Data (5/14): Only nine Original 1827 quarters are known, but several coins have been resubmitted or crossed over, as evidenced by the single known VF specimen appearing in the data of both services.
