coins4fun Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 10/24/2012 10:45 am I came across this coin on ebay which looks like it has a different finish than other Indian Quarter Eagles that I have encountered. It is not advertised as a proof. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...STRK:MESE:IT Edited by coins4fun 10/24/2012 10:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/24/2012 12:36 pm I'd be very cautious with those scans and minimal ebay feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 11:12 am I wouldn't necessarily reject this coin. Photos are poor but from what I can see it looks OK. Finish is not particularly unusual for a business-strike Indian quarter eagle and the current bid ($142.50) would certainly be a bargain price. Throw in the return privilege plus ebay buyer protection and I really don't see a problem. To answer the OP's question: no, I don't think there is any chance this is a proof.
