I don't but the last 8 does look like  maybe? 1818/5 would have pushed this out of my price range and the slab doesn't note the variety. I should have it in hand next week to confirm.  I'll reveal the grade tomorrow. |

Nice looking coin. I'd give it a grade of EF-40.

I would say it's a good looking VF coin.

I'd call VF-35 a bit conservative; looks like it deserves EF. It appears original but IMO a coin like this should be graded by a top TPG for extra assurance that it is problem-free. |

Well here's the slab. It's a PCGS/CAC XF40. These get pricey at XF and the seller was asking $1600 for this piece. I should have it in hand next week and will post better pics. (I hope!  ) P.S. This was actually a trade. I had a 1908 MS63 Saint for sale at $1550 and wanted cash only. This guy offered me the Bust Quarter and a 1877-S Seated quarter (asking $100) for my Saint. I told him I'd do it if he tossed in his 1893-S Barber quarter (asking $275) as well and he agreed. So I have the 3 coins below on the way in trade for my Saint. I feel it was a fair trade both ways.    Edited by BH1964

My guess was going to be XF until I began reading the posts. Then I began to consider VF also. It is XF. It just goes to show go with your first instinct.

The quarters arrived today and I took a couple pics of the 1818. I'm pleased with this quarter.   |

It looks so much better in your pics. In the earlier ones, it almost looked like environmental damage because it was so incredibly dark : (
I recently got one of this date in F-15. Not for type, but just because I have never ever had a decent one. Had the seller end the listings and made a deal with him because activity seemed to be low anyway. It's a pretty coin, but not as pretty as yours!

Thanks for comments. The Barber quarter I got in this deal is pretty sweet too. It's an 1893-S graded XF45 but it looks AU to me. I'll try to get a couple good pics of it. |

Yeah, looked pretty nice at a glance. And I love barbers!
