Howdy. Been away, busy at work for a little while. Dropping by for thoughts on a recent pickup. $430. Thanks!    This issue exhibits some pronounced die rust. Other examples of the 1818 quarter display the raised bump in the tail after the 2 in the reverse's denomination, but this coin shows a few more bumps than other coins I have looked at.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I like this early quarter. I think you got a good deal for a raw coin and I think it should be sent to TPG for proper grading. I see it as VF-35. There are 7 different browning numbers associated with this date so it needs to be properly identified. Slabbed coins on the PCGS site give the following values: VF25= $750, VF30=$875, VF35= $1025. Depending on which Browning number applies to this coin it could be anywhere from $600-$900. I say for accuracy this needs to be slabbed but you got a good deal. Congrats! |

 . I have it higher I have the obv at XF rev AU. I can see it netting out at XF40. so even if I'm way off on this one its a great price if she grades straight which looks good |

I really like the look of this coin. I was considering bidding on it, but I won another, more expensive coin before this one ended, so I met my limit for the week. For $430, I think you got a really nice coin. When I was considering bidding on it, I had this coin at XF-40, with the strong reverse making XF-45 a possibility.

The reverse is clearly stronger than the obverse, but I'd say it just makes XF-40. Looks like a Browning-2 with the die crack above the cap.

Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts. I agree that it is the common Browning 2 with the pronounced obverse die crack.

Nice looking. I think this could make XF-45.
