Okay time to take my lumps, I think. First I bought this not knowing enough about the series thinking it would be a hole filler for my 7070...doh large diameter but I did mentioned to the guy at my LCS that it was a hole filler for the 7070 and he did not point out that it was a large diameter. Again my fault for not knowing but maybe he just did not put 2 and 2 together. But it makes me wonder if I got an okay deal or not. Now a see a couple of hairlines and a rim ding... Would it still be ag3 at least?
Definitely an AG-3, it might even make a G-4 but I can't tell from the photos. All 13 stars, the date and Liberty's cap are easily identifiable. A nice looking coin for 198 years of circulation.
I agree with Collecting Nut. I don't know what you paid but I think you did fine. A couple of rim dings but great eye appeal for the grade, IMO.
I would say the details are at least G4. This die marriage (B-3) tends to have weak obverse rims. I have a B-3 in G6, and its obverse rims are weak too.
Thanks for the input!I appreciate it. The more I look at it the more I like it. It is almost 200 years old and has a bit of the circam going! I dont know what the greysheet is but I see that numismedia FMV and Coin World mag for last month are right about $135 for this in G4 (which I know is retail)...i paid $100 and I am happy even if I did overpay...it is a piece of history and is cool. Sooo....
I like it. I’d keep her. These are MUCH MUCH scarcer (and have more character) than the small-diameter capped bust quarters anyway.
I would go Good-4 on this one. Yes, it got a mark or two, and there is a break in the rim on the obverse, but that’s to be expected for the grade. An AG-3 would not look this good.
I agree with G4, and actually I think you were lucky to get a large diameter bust quarter even if it does not fit. Generally the large diameter bust quarters are scarcer than the smaller diameter, and (in my opinion) more appealing.
