Hey all,

After a little hiatus I'm ready to start adding to the collection again. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this 1855 Seated Liberty quarter - at $35 it seems like a decent deal, but the fields are giving me hesitation. It looks like pretty extensive environmental damage to me. What are your thoughts? Do you think it would make VF-20?

I'll say F-15 sharpness, and agree possible ED.

Obverse is better than the reverse.
Close to F-12 or VG-10.
Exhibits normal wear.
The arrows are the only thing that catches my attention.

"Close to F-12 or VG-10."

Would have to be better than an F-15 for me to consider it a deal. Probably priced about book then. Even a little overpriced at VG-10.

Thanks all! I appreciate your help!

The design details would warrant consideration for $35, but in my opinion I'd hold out for a better example. While I don't having any of the quarters, I have all but 33 of the dime and I've passed based on your same dilemma. You should also consider how this one would look along side your others. It might kill the overall eye appeal as to consistency across the series.

Id give it an F-15, with maybe a touch of ED.

Glad I held out for a deal. Ended up finding one in a tad better condition, but for only $18.
