Wow. What am I missing that would make it go for that much?? You can get problem free MS examples for less than half that price on BIN listings.

 

I have the same question - I picked this up (raw) for a bit more than $100. I was hoping it would grade a bit higher actually. I've been trying to move my SLQ collection to straight higher graded examples (started out as a low grade Whitman album set). Though I don't have an issue with most Details coins, they don't usually sell at a premium - in fact I like them because they make rarer coins affordable to me in general. What are we missing about this one? Would this be a candidate for cracking out, toning a bit on the shelf in the sun and resubmitting for a straight MS grade? I haven't tried that, but I've heard it can work. I'm sometimes suspicious of "private-bidder" auctions like this one, I think it makes shill bidding easier, but I still feel like I'm not seeing something here - $1275? It does appear to be a good candidate for Full Head designation.

 

MS?! With the birds flat wing and body? That coin is graded accurately in my opinion.

 

Mine? I was hoping for Extra Fine 45, I see a lot of graded SLQs, so I don’t think thats nuts, but I don’t dispute the grade, lol. I’m happy to have it and will improve the collection if and when the opportunity arises.

 

looks more XF45, the obverse looks more AU50

Our own coins are always a grade higher than the TPG.

So you agree then?

It is a nice coin, property graded and priced. Add it to the collection and enjoy!

Edited.

 

Ms? Not really

 

40 looks good to me

 

Very nice coin weaseluv. Here is a nice detailed Seated Quarter and my only CC quarter. It has been bent and has somewhat rough surfaces but it cost me $35 (which is right about Good-4 money). Think this one might be right up your alley. Mid-grade Seated Quarters are among my favorite coins.

 

Typo on obverse "IN GOD WE TRVST" .... SHOULD BE A "U" and not a "V". lol

 

I saw this BU Standing liberty type 1 for $429. It isn't graded though.

I got one of those it is AG though:

 

I think he was referring to the UNC details SLQ linked in post #2, rather than his own coin.

 

Both of my responses were to MIGuy, post #4, #6.
