  Tough coin problem free in any condition much less in the VF-30-EF-40 range. A possible market acceptable cleaning. It is a beauty and would fetch a pretty penny. $6K++. Makes mine look like a dawg. Jealous! |

Even though the details have a VF-sh look to them, I am amazed at how much luster is retained, which should easily push it well into XF territory imho.

On the monitor, I think I may have to call it VF35.
For the record, this is a ridiculous rarity; it's thought that only about 15-16,000 were minted although the precise number is unclear. This would be the unquestioned key to the series were the 1823 not even rarer; from 4676 records in the Heritage archive of Bust Quarter sales, only 98 are dated 1824.
And only 9 of them from 1823....
This is a very significant coin, and it may be the only one you ever see at Coin Community.

And it's sitting in a 2 x 2 and not a TPG slab. |

I grade this coin at EF40 to EF45. A scarce and desirable coin. When I was looking for one, this is the best I could afford - NGC VG8.   |

Wowzer I was unaware of this coin's rarity! Grading this is totally out of my realm of expertise, but I'm watching the grading gurus  -MV |

Are we sure this coin is genuine? Looking closer at the surfaces, I'm seeing some raised bumps, two directly below the ear, one above the 2 and one below the 4 in date. Another in the center of the shield.

The clash and the die crack on arrow added with the above comments lead me to believe its a genuine example.

The obverse features you're seeing are characteristic of the issue - only one obverse die, and it was an 1824/2 overdate. The reverse dot you see might be a planchet thing; note the spike coming out of the bottom arrow. That's also characteristic, and unlikely to be found on a counterfeit. |
