GTG - 1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter

Picked up this raw 1853 Arrows & Rays quarter for my type set. I always hesitate to grab ungraded coins, but I didn’t see any red flags on this one. What are your thoughts on grade, if it would straight grade, and value?

40

 

Looks like a solid coin to me. I'd call it VF-35.

 

VF-35

It's a lovely quarter. I loved the A&R seateds.

 

VF-30

I don't see any problems.

For me VF-35 means that there is a debate as to whether or not the coin is an EF-40. If it barely loses, it's a 35.

I don't see any debate here. It's a nice coin, but there is too much general wear to consider the EF grade.

 

I'll go with 30 as well.
