Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 01:10 am Here's a new purchase that I think is pretty nice. It's a raw 1834 bust quarter with apparently original surfaces and no significant problems. It also has a significant die rotation of maybe 70° clockwise (a 90° rotation would mean the eagle is exactly sideways when the coin is flipped over). The third photo shows the degree of rotation; the obverse is aligned straight up and down in the holder. Comments/grade opinions? Edited by Jaobler 06/10/2008 09:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 06:36 am I think I'll go with VF20. I don't have Photograde handy right now, but with the clasp and Liberty, my guess is it's above the F level. Just not sure about making EF without some literature in front of me....I think EF needs a really nice clasp doesn't it? Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 5:12 pm I think it's a solid VF-20, maybe a bit higher. Not EF. Nice quarter! Report this Post to the Staff
morgantype Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 6:35 pm I vote for VF 30 - the ear and clasp are not strong enough in my opinion to merit XF level. Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 6:49 pm I go for the VF-20 as well. The specimen would look excellent in anyone's collection. What is the story about the rotation? Really odd Report this Post to the Staff
JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 6:50 pm I'll go VF 30. Very nice coin! Maybe an VF 30 + for the cool rotation! Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 4:11 pm Nice smooth even wear. (if wear is nice:) I agree with the VF. On the die axis rot. I think closer to 55 deg. than 70 I know 90 deg. is usually the min. on a lot of coins but not sure about it's effect on value for this particular yr. coin. 90 to 180 is cool though on any.
