I recently bought this coin for $24 and was wondering if any one can tell me if that is a good purchase. Thank you.

It can't be accurately graded from such small images, but VF isn't out of the question and it has that "circulation cameo" effect which many (myself included) really like about Seated coinage. So, yeah, that's a well-bought coin at the price.

Pytellc you have to give your images unique names otherwise they replace each other.

First off....

Second, a close-up photo of both sides would make it much easier to assess a grade. However, judging from what I can see, the grade of VF on the 2x2 seems about right.

So to sum it all up, I would say it was a good purchase.

Like others, I'd like to see head on, out of the holder pics. If Not out of the holder at least take them close up head on exact both the obverse and reverse. I would like to judge the difference between VF 20 and the VF 35 on this one for my own edification. It looks like a steal at the price for a raw coin. It could be worth sending for a righteous VF30 slab hopeful and you've got a $125 coin certified and ready for eventual resale should the funds ever be required.

Excellent quarter, congrats

Anybody else possibly see scratches on the reverse or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

I think we are going to need bigger/better pictures to made a good attempt at grading. Looks like VF is certainly attainable if there isn't any problems.
