I was pleased to recently acquire an early die state of an 1807 Browning 2 quarter dollar (pictured below next to a typical late state example). Despite looking for some years I have only seen two high grade examples. I even wondered if the few early unbroken reverses were saved as an explanation.
(Other notable early silver coins with rare early states include two personal favorites: the 1798 dollars B-5 and B-16 which are also duly admired for their dramatic breaks yet rarely exist unbroken)
I would be eager to see images of additional examples of 1807 B-2 in circulated grades without the telltale reverse break...please post if you happen to have one
