wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 705 Posts	Posted 01/31/2026 05:10 am I think I scored the holy grail yesterday: https://www.ebay.com/itm/317818940422 A Large Bust circulation quarter in uncirculated condition. I heard the circulation large bust is far rarer than the mint set one. I've been looking for one of these for decades without needing to pay with my kidney. The market has changed so much over the past few decades. Is there still any demand for this coin? Any ballpark value for it? Should I get it graded?

NumisCat Valued Member Canada 288 Posts	Posted 01/31/2026 1:37 pm Easiest way to tell IMO is to look at the beads. If they're spaced away from the border it's a Small Bust. If the beads touch the border (or nearly so) it's a Large Bust. I always look at the beads at 12 o'clock. Also surprises me how tough the variety is the find as a circulation strike.
