I'm looking to buy this from an online dealer-HJB. Dealer grade is AU58, asking price is $165. I like the details. Since I'm at work I don't have any access to approx prices. Is it worth the price? Your opinion is appreciated.  |

Well, Greysheet prices are
$125 Bid/$135 Ask in AU
$146 Bid/$160 Ask in MS60
I have no idea to the retail prices.
It is definately a sharp coin and not far off on price coming from a dealer.
Nice strong date, and all the "beads" around the shield make this an attractive coin... I just wonder how the luster is on it.

Thank you Jordan. Here's another I came across at their site. Dealer grade is AU55 and the price is $140. But I find the first one pretty:)  |

The dealer said it has a subdued satiny luster.

If Harlan Berk says it's AU58, then it's AU58, final answer. He's an absolutely top-tier dealer by any measure.
Tough to say if it's FH from the pics. If not, you're giving a fair-ish price according to Heritage results. PCGS slabs in that grade are going $185, north of $250 if FH, including Heritage's cut.

I would buy the first one because liberty looks like she has a full head if you know what I mean and if you don't I'll post my newly acquired knowledge to you all : )

Couldn't resist it, I've ordered it. Now the waiting. Thank you for your opinion. From what I've heard HJB is very reputable.

I received the coin, take a look at the pictures I took. Day-time view  Night view  Full Head?  Excuse my fingers, it came in a clear holder so I was able to handle. |

shatsi,
Beautiful coin. This is the sultry version of Miss Liberty. I like the variety 1 obverse, but the variety 2 reverse. If I could mix the two together, I'd buy one also. Point of interest, you mentioned that since it was in a clear holder you were able to handle it. When I get any coin and even if it is in a capsule, I still handle it by the edge of the container. Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Happy for your purchase Malsha, I guess this was for your type set....

Nice Coin. In my opinion this is the best looking quarter design the mint has ever produced.
