HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25138 Posts	Posted 12/09/2023 04:08 am recollector, yes - the denomination should read "25 C.". I don't have a Liberty Cap quarter, but all of my half dollars from that era have "50 C." as the denomination. And Numista shows the same for the quarter. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30781.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/09/2023 11:30 am The B-7 die pair has no dot. https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plu...1838/817014/ I don't see it written up on NGC or PCGS, but PCGS for 1834 mentions the reverse with and without the dot. I don't know which reference designated the die marriages for these but perhaps it's in there. My coin does not have the dot. I don't think I noticed it before so thanks for mentioning it.

Early Quarter Dollars of the United States 1796-1838, page 30 No. 7 - "no period after C". https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/520738?page=35 Edited by kbbpll 12/09/2023 11:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

Some reverse dies had the period and some didn't. The photos in various places for each date probably randomly picked one to illustrate. If you read through the reference I linked, No. 2 for 1833 also had no period, and was used again in 1834. The 1835 B-7 was also used for proof coins (very rare). Just the way it was back then.
