Sweet addition!  Tough call but I'll say this one is G-6 and wonderfully original. Edit: Looking at some graded examples I can how a strong argument for VG-8 could be made. Edited by Joe2007

I think it may make VG-8. Very nice!

I've seen similar pieces in VG8 holders and felt they were over-graded. I believe it's an honest G06.

I was thinking of G6 when I saw the photos.

Seeing how the price of this coin has skyrocketed since I bought it, whether it's G-6 or VG-8, I'm still smelling like a rose on this one. I do have it labeled as VG-8 though. I realize that's pushing the outside of the envelope. Probably more like G-7.

I think it has a good shot at VG-8.

The obverse is certainly a full VG8, with the reverse (judging from the pictures) a little bit lower. A net grade of good 6 or VG7 seems reasonable. Here for comparison, my VG8.   |

Sorry for the triple post. My internet connection is slow today and that maybe the reason.
Is it possible to erase a post?

Thank you GERMANICVS, for the comparison. Nice coin. My quarter is a tick under yours. Is it graded by PCGS?

I'd say it's a solid G-6. Very original!

what an all original and problem free coin you picked up sir. I actually thought VG10 but I do not attempt to grade these that often as I have not handled a single bust quarter in my life, only the dimes and Half Dimes. I think the color and even appearance of the surface might even warrant a green bean. |

jpbone, my example is in an Anacs slab. Capped Bust quarters (and dimes) of the larger, open collar type are among my favorites. Your example is quite appealing, with a nice, even and original colour. |

That is a real beaut. Just the type of natural age and color I like on a problem free 19th century coin. And it's a super rare variety, congrats.
