Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 7:12 pm I picked up two 1876-P Seated Liberty quarters, and I noticed one looked different then the other. After a little research, I think one of them is the Type I reverse. I know little to nothing about the series, and only grabbed them because they were cheap, and had a nice look. But now I'm wondering if I accidentally cherrypicked a rare variety. It's Breen number 4080, fyi Please look at the picks, and see if you agree. If it is a Type I reverse, what king of premium does it carry? For reference, here's the NGC page on it; https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...rev-25c-5216 Normal (Type II) Reverse: Rare (Type I) Reverse (I Think): And full obverse and reverse photos: Edited by Beefer518 09/26/2017 8:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 8:46 pm I think that you are on to something here...it does indeed appear to be a Type I Reverse...also known as Breen B-4080 and Briggs Reverse A. Variety Diagnostics : Letters TAT in STATES nearly touch. Comments: This reverse hub was used 1866-76 and is transitional with Type 2 for 1875-76 quarters. It is rare for 1876... https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...ev-25c-5216/ Report this Post to the Staff
Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 8:53 pm I'm pretty convinced it is the Type I reverse, which I read (although I'm not sure if it's 100%, that the Type I reverse was a proof die. I also can't find anything on rarity or value. Report this Post to the Staff

Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 09:58 am It was in an auction. I wasn't even planning on getting it (them), but they went cheap, so I grabbed them. Report this Post to the Staff
