1843 Seated Quarter

I thought I knew how to grade these quarters but then I seen a listing with this date/mm that was a f15 that I would have thought was at least a 20. What would you call this quarter?

My guess was either a 30 or 35 but after seeing the other graded 43-o I'm wondering if I overgraded this one when I was bidding?
I know it has a few problems but it's still a scarce coin.

30 or 35 sounds about right to me.

 

Depends how you net grade it with the rim dings and the mark on the 4. Details it's a nice 35, I could see a net grade of 20-30. Personally, the rim dings and mark on the reverse field don't bother me much, the mark on the date does.

 

Yeah I don't believe it will straight grade due to the issues.Seated series in the 40's are always in demand. I say vf 30

 

There are a few varieties the 1843 o rpd and the 43 O large O mm .yours is not the LG O.
However without having the coin in hand take a good look in the denticals look at the one that splits the 84 looks like the top of the 8 in it . Maybe not just noticed something there.

 

Sharpness of a 30, net 15. But if I wanted it I wouldn't complain paying 20 money for it.

 

I have an 1854 with the same type of 'gouge' for lack of a better work and it straight graded at PCGS as an AU-58.

I sort of expect some sort of circulation issues to be present. It DID circulate after all.

 

Sorry NGC graded it. Right below the 13th star

 

I think around VF30, I don't think the marks are severe enough to preclude a straight grade, after all it circulated.

 

I'm at 25-30 I think it'll go straight too

 

Those would have been my words if I got there first.

 

30

 

VF with the obv 20 and the rev 30.

 

I wish people would grade the quarters around me like that. I'd love if that was the standard F15 I found

 

I think this one might be worth the $30 to see what NGC says.

 

It probably has about 30 details. I would give it a net grade of 20 or 25 (I think it would probably straight grade, but they'd knock some points for the gouge and rim ding).

 

In hand. Very nice original skin.

 

A few dings, but no question original.

 

Vf 30 from those pics. Tough call whether it's straight or rim damage 50/50 my call
