Understandably, these 1825 over a jumble-of-numbers quarters have confused even the most diligent students of the series, until Steve Tompkins solved this puzzle with publication of his Early United States Quarters 1796-1838 (2008). Previously catalogued as 1825/2, 1825/3, or 1825/4, Tompkins argued successfully that both currently known 1825 obverses are leftovers from 1822 and 1824, and both are correctly 1825/4/2 overdates.
1825 Browning 2, showing star 8 low and with a small 5 reverse, is easily the most common of the three, and alone can be considered as a type issue for Large Sized Capped Bust Quarters. Browning 3, which shares an obverse with B.2, but mated with the Large 5 reverse V, is notably scarcer, with less than a half dozen survivors in Mint State. Browning 1 is a significant rarity, showing star 8 high and mated with the workhorse reverse T, used previously for 1822 B.3, 1823/2, and 1824/2 quarters
Recent research by students of the Capped Bust Quarter series discovered that all 1825 Quarter Dollars are struck from 1825/4/2 Quarter Dollars. Thus, what were previously considered as 1825/3 and 1825/4/(2) Quarter Dollars are now all 1825/4/2, regardless of how clear the overdate is.
Three die marriages comprise the entire mintage for this year:
Browning 1 - Rare Browning 2 - Fairly Common Browning 3 - Scarce
