Cover Photos: 1836 B-3 small size quarter. One of the most dramatic LDS examples in the entire bust quarter series displaying both obverse and reverse breaks along with die buckling at the lower drapery. Popular and very collectible because it can be found easily with the breaks (R-1) although much tougher in the early die state. Owned by Glenn Marx, pedigreed to the late Jules Reiver which sold in Heritage 1-27-06 Lot 22461 NGC-62 #2032985-017.
