This quarter seems AU details, and probably cleaned and possibly damaged on top of that. I am wondering how much a coin like this, which seems quite scarce, especially in "higher" grades, would be. I'm more interested in the value than the grade, given that this coin seems like damaged good.   |

I wonder how many people looking for a 1860-S quarter is looking for a cleaned one. I would avoid it. The Seated quarter series is so long that I wonder how many people are looking to put together a date/mm set. A type collector will want a nicer one imho. 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."

It's worth a heck of a lot more than most people would consider paying for it.
That said, there's a lot of patina left on the piece. My guesstimate is $5,000 retail in the right auction.

Thanks so much, CCF! As always I appreciate your expertise. I am not looking to buy these coins--I came across them and am wondering how coins like these are valued.
