QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 10:26 pm Cherrypicked this at the local show. My first Seated Liberty quarter as well. It's a really bad looking coin (detailed by scratches and what not) but I picked it up because the Cherrypicker's Guide says it's assumed to be extremely rare with a URS-3 rating.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 11:52 pm To me, a cherry pick is a coin that has been bought at a price that is considerably less than its real market value. That could mean any sort of coin, across the whole of numismatics. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 08:13 am Oh, I thought it meant buying a coin with a variety where the dealer doesn't notice the variety and has it marked as a normal coin. Perhaps, I'm wrong. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 08:54 am Agree, a cherry pick has to do with price. If there is no real added value for a variety (often the case), then finding one unmarked would be interesting but not a real "cherry pick". Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 09:20 am Thanks guys. I never knew that was the real definition of a cherrypick. I always assumed since the Cherrypicker's guide related to varieties then it would be only for varieties. Well I guess one can never learn enough. Thanks for help clearing that up.
