Wow. The 1872cc 25c is upwards of $20,000 in AU. It looks to me to have AU details in certain places. But the coin is severely corroded and then harshly cleaned chemically. Not sure what it is worth other than what someone who really wants a coin with this level of damage is willing to pay for it.  Edited by numismatic student

Your best bet is option #1 in my opinion.
Getting it "conserved" and into a detail slab is a must do. As is stands now the coin may only degrade further if nothing is done to it.
Anyway, for it to bring anything worthwhile down the road it will have to be slabbed.

PCGS with conservation. What would that cost all in,including what the op paid for the coin and what would the retail value be after it is slabbed? John1  Edited by John1

No clue what he paid but the simple authentication for a real one regardless of any conservation would be more than worth the money. 1872 CC quarter is a 100 percent send it in every time if it's real coin. |

I agree with above people, definitely send into PCGS or NGC for conservation and grading. Post some pic's when you get it back. Cant wait to see what it gets.  |

Hello to my CAC Family. The coin has been authenticated and it is real deal. Westernsky YES you hit on the nose. The coin was Buried in the front yard OF A 1920'S House when house was demolished he found it buried down in the ground about 7 feet down. Gods know for how long. so that being said will send in to PCGS since I am a member there anyway.I just wanted to share with CAC family and to have the best option. Will keep you posted once I get back for m PCGS I will have the clean and grade coin. THAKS MUCH LOVE Robbie
