The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

PR64. Reverse looks like it might make Cameo but the obverse contrast I do not think to be sufficient to earn a full Cameo grade.

Paralyse, that was a certified PCGS Cam. Without revealing the grade, can you help me out. I want to either buy this coin or a high grade Capped Bust quarter (AU) picture below. What do you think I should do? Anybody else to. Thanks!!   |

Grats on the Cameo, then. Might just be the pictures being a bit soft on the obverse side. My 1894 half in 64+ has much the same appearance but was not fortunate enough to earn the little CAM. The CBQ looks like a nice mid AU but the Barber proof especially in PR CAM is a much scarcer coin with better upside if you decide to sell in the future. I would choose the Proof over the CBQ unless I already had a Proof Barber quarter and was working on a CBQ set or needed a nice AU small CBQ type coin.

Personally I would buy the proof barber. The CBQ looks cleaned, dipped more specifically. Also it is unattractively marked.
The barber is a stunning coin.

The seller took the photo from a slight angle with the bottom of the coin closer to the lens. The angle would hide some of the cameo and marks on the coin. From photo PR64 CAM and in hand the coin should have a stronger cameo.

Here it is...Based on the photos and responses, I think this coin is under graded. Once I get it in hand, I will let you guys know. Thanks!  |
