Seller's pics. Purchased with right to return. I've been looking for a large dia CBQ for a while and went out on a limb and purchased this. Initial thoughts?   |

I think I'd be at F-12. I like it! I'm not up on the Browning variety attribution but the B-10 is not supposed to have a die crack through the "2" on the reverse. I can see a slight crack on this one from the arrow fletching to the top of the 2.

What grade did the seller say it was and what did you pay for it? John1  |

Looks genuine with honest, even wear and VG10 sounds fair. Large diameter quarters are really cool pieces.

Is there anything to attribute the close denticles at K-12:30 and near the date at K-6:30?

John1, the seller only stated that it was a scarce early date CBQ. This was an ebay auction and I ended up paying $210 MrT, there are two primary details that point to B-10, those being the bunched denticles that you noticed on the obverse below the first "1" in the date and then the "OF" on the reverse offset to the right crowding "AMERICA." There are a couple of other identifiers but the pics are too blurry to tell for sure and those are more die state related. |

Attribution is correct. I love the coin, regardless of price. This is a very attractive circulated coin that exhibits excellent detail and surface quality for the grade range. I think it is a F-12. Choice for the grade with sharp dentils.

I think you did well for $210. A slabbed VG-10 is about $300 and a slabbed F-12 is about $375 so a raw coin for $210 seems reasonable. Congrats!

Has an honest wear look and I like it. I'm also at VG-10.

Very nice eye appeal. Lots of lower hair detail, so F-12.

I like it, nice tone, nice choice.
Regarding grade, I compared it to an ANACS VG8 and an NGC F12 I have. Based on that comparison I grade this example at VG8.

F15. Coin is weak toward the center but strong at the denticles and periphery. Well done!  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'll say F-12 by a hair. I think you did very well.
