For the grade I want prices from both Numismedia and PCGS indicate around $100. But sellers are asking $200+ for anything decent for the grade.
Here is one I found in a slab cheap. How did this make the problem free slab? There are scratches all over it.
You're addicted to an expensive series. Out of curiosity I perused the eBay listings and decided that if I every collected a CB quarter type coin, I'd probably want to drop around 500.
Looks like a long staple drag going across the LIBERTY. Also a bunch of little scratches to the right and above the eagle's head.
This is die marriage B-5, which pairs obverse 3 with reverse K. It is very well-known for the several major die cracks on the obverse. The one going through LIBERTY is not a staple scratch, but is a die crack diagnostic of the die variety. The small ticks and nicks on the reverse are normal circulation wear and are completely consistent with a coin of this age and usage. There is nothing major wrong with that coin.
