Welcome to Coin Community, BasedGod. We'd need far more data - mint mark, centered above "2-1/2D" on the reverse, and halfway decent images to form any proper conclusion.

Welcome! I personally don't have my Red Book in front of me, but I am not sure if I know what coin you may have. Any chance on getting a photo of it uploaded for us to see? |

That looks like a Liberty Head Quarter Eagle http://www.coincommunity.com/us_gol...rty_head.aspNow if it is real or not. Only way I'd be able to advise as a starting point: get it weighed. Coin Fact sheet says it should weigh 4.18 grams. Take it in to the local cash for gold place and feign an interest in selling it. They'll be sure to weigh it for you to check and that is one way to check. |

 BasedGod! From your pictures (a bit small for a real good grade/valuation, but I'll give it a shot!) I don't see anything glaring that instantly identifies this as non-authentic. If real, I see a reasonably graded MS-62, worth around $800, in my opinion. Please try to post better pictures! And good luck with this! Do you have any other coins to show us? |

Wow very nice coin! I would keep it thought. But could you post photo's of it without cropping them so small? Like leave coin size kind of big.

Beautiful! Larger pics would help in determining grade. I agree... You found it? Do you mean at the local coin store, on the sidewalk, metal detecting, in a coin roll? I'd second that I'd love to hear the story!
