For sale as a XF Details at $277. Thoughts? The "Details" probably refers to (old) cleaning and a few hits to the reverse field.   |

I'm at VF35 borderline XF. Old cleaning, may be market acceptable. Looks like the high points might have been thumbed a bit. Nice example.

Decided to go ahead. We'll see what this coin looks like in hand.

I'd definitely say you made the right choice between the two! Hope there are no surprises when in hand cuz it sure is pretty in the photo

I'm a self proclaimed connoisseur of Capped Bust quarters. I have a full set and many Breen varieties. Probably over 50. I like this coin. The dig on the reverse field deters me more than the "old cleaning". I would be interested at the right price. Very handsome looking coin! |

The only thing I don't like about the Capped Bust design is the right wing of the eagle. It just looks like something took a huge bite out of it.

i agree with jbone. I dont think the cleaning is an issue. its the reverse dig under "OF" that would most likly pull the designation. also I would not use anything like acetone in this coin as it will highlight any other issues like those marks around 25C and a few hits on the reverse fields.

If that's a details coin, it's pretty nice. From the seller's pics, it looks just a hair short of EF-40. I'd love to see your pics when it is in hand.

Got the coin in the mailbox today! I think the seller photos were very accurate, although in hand the coin appears a little bit darker. My own pics are shown below:   |

Looks EF-40 to me and would probably straight grade.
