I have wanted to purchase a nice Isabella Quarter for some time. While not the most artistic design, I have always liked this type issued for the Columbian Exposition in 1892-1893. The low mintage of only 24,000 coins is also a plus. I've been looking online and also checked out any examples I saw at the ANA show in Chicago in August. There was a small show in Milwaukee yesterday. I found a couple of circulated examples and then came across this nice piece. It has full luster with some gold toning on the obverse rim. There are a few scattered marks on it but it is one of the nicest I have come across within my price range, so I bought it. Thanks for giving me a place to show it to others.   Paul Bulgerin

Lister, luster, they don't come as a bucket buster often in this sort of condition. Congratulations on your acquisition. |
