    Just got this liberty seated quarter to fill another spot in my 7070 album The seller sold it as Fine, but I'm not sure. The pics aren't great; I think the ones in the holder are actually better than the others, but I wonder what everyone thinks about that grade? If you don't want to offer an opinion on grade because of my poor images, I understand, but I took about 15 shots of each side and these were my best. 718_Obverse.jpg 719_Reverse.jpg 735_Obverse.jpg 744_Reverse.jpg

    F12. She did some living and looks to have some nice character from her travels. Great coin for a 7070, congrats.

    Not bad at all. I agree with CircCam: about a F12 but still nice.

    Thank you to all of you. I guess the consensus is the seller gave it an honest grade. I got it for a fair price, too, I think. He had it for sale for $25, which I thought was good enough, but I was going to walk away and he said $23. I decided I did want it after all, it won't break the bank, anyway. It's about the same quality as the other two seated quarters I already had in the book, so it fits. I like it.

    A nice, original, problem-free piece. Better than a shiny, messed-up coin with less wear, I think...

    I like the originality and would say it’s on the high end of fine, F15. The reverse could go 20 but obverse keeps it out of VF.

    F 15. A nice, circulated example. So much nicer than the cleaned, whizzed examples of seated coinage.
