From what I can find, the 1840-O No Drapery quarter has no denticles, but I'll wait to hear what the Seated Liberty experts have to say. Nevertheless, we will need pictures to give you a complete answer.

I see denticles, but they are rather delicate. Could be that they were worn down or weakly struck.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The lack of remaining denticles on this example is consistent with this degree of circulation.

numismatic_student, it's ironic that you posted that picture of a 25C no drapery. I just bought that very coin at the long beach Heritage auction. Isn't she a beauty?

Wizzy, that is a fantastic coin--and quite the coincidence!

Agree, just wear on the rims can produce this effect. @ns and Wizzy - I take it these pics are of the same coin? Super example, congrats. No small piece of change, I would imagine.  Edited by Coinfrog

Here is a closer view of the obverse. There are definitely denticles. There is a repunched date, the 0 can be seen to the south.  |
