Here's a new purchase that I think is pretty nice. It's a raw 1834 bust quarter with apparently original surfaces and no significant problems. It also has a significant die rotation of maybe 70° clockwise (a 90° rotation would mean the eagle is exactly sideways when the coin is flipped over). The third photo shows the degree of rotation; the obverse is aligned straight up and down in the holder.

Comments/grade opinions?

I think I'll go with VF20. I don't have Photograde handy right now, but with the clasp and Liberty, my guess is it's above the F level. Just not sure about making EF without some literature in front of me....I think EF needs a really nice clasp doesn't it?

VF 30, hair detail is a little too lacking for EF, I think. Nice coin though.

I think it's a solid VF-20, maybe a bit higher. Not EF.

Nice quarter!

I vote for VF 30 - the ear and clasp are not strong enough in my opinion to merit XF level.

I go for the VF-20 as well.
The specimen would look excellent in anyone's collection.
What is the story about the rotation? Really odd

I'll go VF 30. Very nice coin! Maybe an VF 30 + for the cool rotation!

Nice smooth even wear. (if wear is nice:) I agree with the VF.
On the die axis rot. I think closer to 55 deg. than 70
I know 90 deg. is usually the min. on a lot of coins but not
sure about it's effect on value for this particular yr. coin.
90 to 180 is cool though on any.
