Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 04/18/2006 3:28 pm Hello All, Here is an 1807 Quarter I recently picked up for a GREAT price. There are a couple of problems with it besides 200 years of wear. The first is on the reverse where the (25) was scratched off and the other is on the obverse near star 6 and the L, (they do match as far as where a clasp might have been located for a necklace.) It appears to have been a piece of jewlery ar one point, but upon closer inspection it could have been a damaged planchet along with a die crack which runs thru B and into the edge of E. On the back there is another crack which runs from the rim thru O and into the cloud. I was hoping someone with Bust Qtr experience could chime in with some thoughts or anyone else for that matter Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff

The enlarged pic is much better. It is a nice coin for 200 years old and pretty rare to boot. Last one I saw was lucky if it was an AG3. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 04/19/2006 10:48 am My initial feeling is that this coin was in jewelry. It is still in pretty nice shape with some nice detail remaining. I would say it's still worth about $75 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 04/19/2006 12:23 pm Thanks for looking everyone. Yes Susan your on the mark about the jewlery thing. I also found out it's a (B-2) die variety with an R-3 rating. it's the only Bust Qtr I've got and purchased it as a Half Dollar so I'm pretty tickled ;-) Regards Ben Edited by Bonedigger 04/19/2006 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
