1853/4 Seated Liberty Quarter or has cherrypicking rattled my brain?

Bought this and received it today. The first set of pictures are in hand, the second set is in the listing. It’s definitely the same coin, but I’m having trouble photographing it and started to second guess myself. Anyone able to chime in? Graded AU50 by ICG.

The same. Bottom inside loop of 5 and top outside loop of 8 match.

My first impression is the listing photo has the appearance of being enhanced to deflect from the in hand actual condition...darkening it a bit.

 

I figured it was due to the spots immediately to the left of the shield. Do you know if it’s an 1853/4 though? It isn’t attributed as one

 

I do not see this coin as an overdate.

 

Go to usacoinbook.com. BUT, keep in mind that your piece has wear, and a late die state, which does not easily lend itself to a quick diagnostic confirmation. My opinion and determination is based on having seen in hand other worn examples, and as usual, I held a 5X up to the screen. Doing so, I can see remnants, and in my opinion and without the coin in hand, yes.

Member Insider can help, f he cares to.

 

I increased the photo brightened it, and did an overlay. Youse aint going to like this....no.

 

Aw man, that’s too bad. Can’t win on all of em!

 

It is OK. It is still a nice LSQ. I would not be ashamed to have it in my collection.

 

Would you mind doing an overlay on a 1918 S (not the post from about a week ago, another one) that I think could be an overdate? It has the die cracks through RUST and a crack from the star to the rim, but I’m not sure about it either. I can post it in ten or fifteen minutes

 

I will certainly try, if you go to the website I posted earlier and see if that helps, first.

 

Just made a new thread about it, let me know what you think
