can you please take a picture of the reverse of the coin as well just like you did the obverse? What I can tell you right away though is this would not be considered a "Gem Coin" which is High MS (Mint State) condition, like MS67 and above on the Sheldon Scale.

Greetings everyone

Some of you may have seen this Coin with my post in the "All Members, Post your most recent US Coin Purchase" forum and also read the story about how I aquired it. If you would like a more in-depth explanation of how this coin came to my possession you can read about it in that post. All I will state here is that it was given to me as an appreciation gift which I am still a bit in shock about seeing as this is a fairly rare and valuable quarter.

so I would appreciate if you would like to give your estimate on a possible grade and your opinion on if I should get it Slabbed

I am going to guess at the grade as well and I'm going with VF-30?

Yes, quite a gift. very scarce coin.

Thank you chafemasterj & Dearborn

. And yes, it was very generous on their part, and to be honest I was a little confused for a second once I looked up the coin as I just thought that I was making a mistake

I'd say MS63 and I was thinking Brn based on the first images but now I'm leaning towards Red, pretty sure it's not RB.

1851-O Liberty Seated Quarter(Type 2-No Motto).
So this wasn't technically a purchase but I felt it would still be appropriate to post here

I have a side job I do which is being the Caretaker for a beautiful historic Bed & Breakfast Mansion in the small town where I reside. The owners were clients of my father's years ago and that became a close friendship, so that's how I got the job. Anyway, long story short, the other day I was visiting with my father, and he said that the owner's had left something for me in appreciation for doing a good job And then my Father handed me this coin in a hard plastic case and immediately, I was very grateful just for the gesture, and then I did some looking into it and was a bit taken aback

as it's not your average coin as far as value/rarity goes in my opinion, so I am going to be writing a very excited and grateful thank you letter to the couple

. my apologies for the lengthy explanation, but I thank you all for reading

Thanks Dearborn

The 1876 Indian Head Penny is a "Semi-Key" date in the series so even at lower grades it can sell for $100+

My estimate on a Grade if the Obverse hasn't been Cleaned is VF-20.

micoin-I am a big "Proof Coin" lover

. There Are many proof coins in my late grandfather's collection that I inherited about eight months ago, which is how & when I got into Numismatics (Coin Collecting), and I have since acquired quite a few more Proofs! I learned a tough lesson early on when handling a 1992-S Proof ASE out of the Case and noticed a "Smudge" on the Reverse Mirror Surface and decided to try and remove it with a soft cotton ball, little did I know that something is soft as cotton will Create very visible scratches On the "Mirror-like" surface of a Proof Coin, Especially one like a DCAM Proof ASE

I enhanced your images and zoomed them in and I'm quite confident your coin has not been cleaned. As far as Grade goes, my best estimate is MS-63.

I agree with the statements from the other gentlemen.
Had it not been cleaned, I would say VF-30 at $70 value. But as the others said, there is no set price after a coin has been cleaned etc.
