Exactly what the title says. Two quarters for $4 each, free ship. 1925 & 1926 Standing Liberty quarters, to be precise, of the Philadelphia mint. These ladies look like solid Good coins to me, despite the torn 2x2 plastic on the seller's photo of one of them. I'd put the '25 at G+ and the '26 at G, although the reverse is dangerously close to AG. I don't see any major apparent issues, just the passage of time, and the passage through a great many hands.

What an awesome deal. That is a gift at $2 each. Bought them on ebay I assume?

Not too shabby for $2 each. Considering these have a melt value of $3.46 each right now .

I've bought much uglier SLQ for $3.75 each.. Nice buy! Was that an ebay score?

Yup, ebay. I do auction trolling around 12 am to 3 am my time on Saturday-Sunday...sellers who use auto-listers and infrequent sellers sometimes aren't vigilant about end times for auctions and you can find auctions ending during the US "dead hours" where no bidders are around to snipe.

I use a similar technique on ebay. I've scored great deals but I usually look for the buy it now listings. But they sell almost immediately after listing them since many others do the same. Whenever I add them to my cart and try to buy they are already snagged by somebody else.

I edited my original post to clarify: $4 per quarter, not $4 for BOTH (that would be an even more awesome deal!) These were a Sunday afternoon score. Shipping: free. It's not like I really NEED these, but come on, $4? That's barely over melt. 291879283926 (1925) 291879289965 (1926)
