No question.
That is one tough date, and it is getting very tough in all grades down to G-4.
At one time is was considered nothing more than a common date. No longer.
And Barber quarter collector knows how difficult that coin is in any grade, and often a low grade one occupies a high grade set.
You have an MS-64, and I appreciate your showing it! I have never see one before, and I have been searching for a nice AU for years (at least 15 years) and the best that I have ever seen is a F-12.
In fact, when a F-12 was bid at $30 I was offered $100 for it. I am glad that I turned it down, since I have never seen another.
Great date & MM, great condition. |
You're 100% right about the 1909-O quarter being very tough and highly undervalued in just about all price guides. The last AU58 to auction last year brought $4,025!!! Currently the price in the Greysheet for an AU is less than $500. In short, buy any certified 1909-O quarter you find at the Greysheet prices and you'll do fine!!!
One of the 1909-O PCGS MS66 Quarters is going for auction next month at Heritage in part of the Duckor collection. Now that is a coin I can dream about!!!!
