I am starting a raw quarter eagle indian set in my dansco album, similar to my half eagle set...but only have 2 so far. Not near the quality that Jon Brand's will be, but its fun to have a nice bullion set to show off in an album.  I really like the obverse on this one, lots of cartwheel luster...however, the reverse is completely lackluster with some minor damage.   Edited by johnny54321

I wanna say AU Details because of the rim damage.
Is your half set complete?!

Almost complete...but missing the 1909-O and 1929...both 5 figure coins unfortunately. I really want a 1909-O, but would have to make some major sacrifices to get it. The 1929 is probably never going to happen. The quarter eagle indian set is a lot easier to complete, which is probably why it is more popular.

btw, I dont see much in the way of wear on this coin. The obverse is comparable to my MS-63 1929 with full cartwheel luster.

I don't like it. If you haven't purchased it yet, don't. This is a common date, the coin you posted either has ex-jewelry damage and/or is a fake. Bad series to purchase raw.

yes, I know it has damage and mentioned that in the initial post. Please explain why it is fake. You made that statement on another coin I bought, but never provided explanations.

Oh. A lot of this series were faked. So to be comfortable unless one is an expert, it is best not to buy them raw. Best of luck.

Meant to say be cautious. Darn spellchecker.

Johnny has a ton of these things, I wouldn't worry. :) But you are right about being cautious. I have less experience then him so I am taking the TPG path. |

Maybe you should look into buying correct gold content replica 1909-O and 1929 half eagles. Not the same as the originals, but they are hole fillers and add bullion to boot.
