It looks real to me. $40 to $50 coin.

 

Awesome coin you got!

 

Can't rule out an old light cleaning, especially on the obverse, but it looks nice to me.
I'll go with VF20.

 

Looks good to me … Cleaning probably.
1853 25c VAR 2 - F-15

 

I would say genuine and Fine-12. If it has been cleaned, it doesn’t matter. It’s a good “album collection” type coin.

 

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I am thinking about purchasing the coin as well as the one here...what you think about the grade on this one? Obviously better than the first coin. Thanks again.

 

This one looks odd to me.. might just be me. Or could be the patina it has on it. idk have the others opinion on it.

 

They changed these quarters quite a bit from year to year. There’s no rays in 1854 if that’s what is throwing you off.

 

I know the Ray's aren't supposed to be there. I think the patina is throwing me off. Still nice coin.

 

Looks like environmental exposure … Details VF (VF-20)

 

The '53 has some damage on her right shoulder. I would wait for a nicer example. Not rare in that grade.
