coinhound1's 1825 P Capped Bust Quarters : 5 Over 4 - Close Date

What this coin looks like (obverse, reverse, mint mark location, special features, etc.):


One major variety is the 1825/4 Capped Bust Quarter. All 1825 quarters have an overdate error but this particular one has an 1825 date struck over an 1824 date which resulted in a "5" stuck over a "4". In addition: This particular variety has a close date where the numbers are more closely spaced together.

This variety can sometimes be known as the 1825/4/2 or 1825/4/3 and even 1825/3 as there are a number of different sub-varieties. So comparing the wide date vs close date is often the best way to identify this variety. The wide date is also the rarer and more valuable variety.

The difference between the 1825/2 vs 1825/4 - and wide date vs close date is depicted below in the example comparison image below:
