1929 s or 1923 s SLQ

I'm sorry but I don't think this is a 1923 S Standing Liberty Quarter. Bid is up to $100.

I agree…it looks like a 1929-S…imo…Spark

 

Definitely a recessed date - that's a 28-S

 

I messaged the seller and guess they aren't going to answer me. We'll see.

 

1929S Definitely.....

 

Let’s just say it’s not a 1923-S.

 

Well it's clearly not a 3 regardless. I've stopped having sympathy for buyers who can't bother to do any research.

 

It’s an 8 or a 9 as the top loop is closed.

 

For those who might be confused by the "recessed date" terminology, in 1925, the mint changed the date area on the Standing Liberty Quarter to improve the strike in that area. It also allow the coin to retain its date longer in circulation.

"Type II" SL Quarter



Type III SL Quarter with "recessed date."

 

29. The 3 has a straight across top and the lower loop not closed like a 28. And of course it’s a recessed date

 

I messaged the seller telling him that this coin is a recessed date. He played dumb and asked me what the difference is between the two dates. Bid is up to $216.00. I don't know what these bidders are looking at. Well, I tried.

 

I did the same just now. We'll see if they respond.

 

I’d say they are looking at the sellers description. Lol and shame on them as the photo is very clear.

 

Seller agrees that it's not 23 but claims that "the system" won't let them end the auction early, and they'll contact the winner afterwards and cancel the transaction. I've never sold on ebay but I've seen many listings change to "no longer available" or "there was an error in the listing", so I'm not sure what the story is with that.

 

A seller can end a sale when identified as a mistaken description. The seller is just buying time until the sale ends. I should bid on it and win it and then refuse to pay because the coin is not what it is advertised as. Well, maybe not.

 

Too late, the coin sold for $501.00. Unbelievable. But, the same coin is listed again under his other items for sale. Looks like we have some shill bidding going on.
