So here is one of my new pieces- A 1835 capped bust quarter B-6 R.4. It has really cool die cracks , a great strike & a plum color- (even though Im not too sure on the color,I think it is artificial) Do you think I will be able to get AU58 on the grade ? If so it will be one of two of the highest graded by NGC. Anything over that would make it Top Pop. It may have to go to NCS , Im not to sure on the color but Ill find out soon enough. Here are a couple of different pictures & scans. You can compare HERE The first 2 pictures are the ones that were used to sell the coin to me The Second 2 pictures are my Scans & the 5th picture is a digital photo Quite a differance - Thanks for any opinions-
Lovely example. AU-58 might be a reach, but still an AU coin though in my book. Really Really Beautiful Ben
What a great coin and it shows just ho goofy that Eagle was. What did they use to see Eagles with in those days, Disney Goofy glasses. Ruben
budgood: What a differnece a photo makes. In the first two I was sure of AT, now ? Nice coin, should get an AU, but, are you sure that it wasn't cleaned? The last photo looks a little 'funky'. Frank
Nice pickup. That variety is a lot tougher to find than people recognize. Definitely an R4 IMO. Looks AU-53 to me. Lovely all the way.
Judging from the photos, it looks AT and cleaned, I doubt this coin will make it into a NGC holder, but stranger things have happened and I certainly hope I'm wrong...Mike
Heres the up-date on this one too. Back from NCS AU details & conservered but no change in the color. Oh well. I still like it !
