Buffalo78 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 9:04 pm Picked this up at an auction over the weekend. I think I got it for a really good deal. Looks like a very old cleaning but has refined well. Looks nicer in hand than pics. I think close to VF obverse and F reverse. Maybe net F-15? Either way, looks nice in the album.

Buffalo78 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 11:46 am Thanks folks. I almost hate to admit it but I only gave $70 for it. Everything checks out just right (weight, diameter, looks, etc.) The auction was mostly bullion type stuff so not a lot of interest in collector grade coins. I am pretty sure it came out of a type set. Usually I end up over paying at auctions because I "want" something. This may have been one of the better deals I have gotten. I am very pleased with the purchase. I actually had a Bust Quarter Dansco album that was sitting empty. Not its not and I really like the look of these coins. The capped bust series seems doable in lower grades (G-F) so I may need to add those to my shopping list. Edited by Buffalo78 02/19/2020 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 5:40 pm That was a steal. I have a set in a Dansco minus the 1796 and 1804. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 6:38 pm VF-20 Yes that was a very good deal for you. The larger size Capped Bust quarters are harder to find then the smaller ones of the series. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/20/2020 11:37 am I'd say VF-20 as well. Very attractive. Report this Post to the Staff

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 02/20/2020 1:50 pm Nice pickup. I had no idea they even put out sets of these early quarters. Blue book value for a F-12 specimen is $175 VF-20 is $325 Edited by CalzoneManiac 02/20/2020 1:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
