Yup yup.. got the last of the Seated Lib quarters I need for the type set. I really really liked this one and the price sealed the deal... Watcha Think of this puppy Note: added the last pic from PCGS (sellers pics kinda sucked lol)
Nice looking coin but when I look at that last photo with a magnifying glass I feel it’s in the 35 range but details. Liberty’s clasp is worn, and there appears to be graffiti scratched to the left of her head. She’s staring at a A that scratched into the field. Also appears to be a die crack from her cap to the first star on the left.
I think AU53 (details, at least), and that the apparent "graffiti" to the left of the head is random rather than deliberate. Whether it resulted in a "details" grade or not, I'm unsure.
That's a wild die crack...I should say cracks not seeing the graffiti ...what im seeing is an near perfect reverse as far as grading that side. The obv. Has several cracks that connect in plane view or disappear and surface futher down the crack. If grading this by the reverse I say Au as the wings are the high spots and show little wear... I am at 40 do to the obv. Wear. It also has a mpd but not the mpd for the 1876 slq that would be the money one. This specimen has nice color but again the reverse is the best side pulled down by the obv. Wear and strached area. There are several other cracks that enlarged one can see the transverse crack does run across her neck to the star ,and several others below that one... this die was very close to breaking up and has been lapped several times no doupt. You can see the 1876 in the denticals. The reverse has a crack that runs completely around the edge.
Yeah the crack and the color are what caught my eye 1st, the near perfect reverse didn't hurt either, once I looked at the pcgs pics, I was more then ready to go higher then the auction closed at so was quite happy with the price (under 100). I always LOVE sellers that post crappy pics of slabbed coins, I get some of my best deals this way lol
I didn't notice that from my first look but after reading you comment, I think it should be AU Details - graffiti ...unfortunate but it seems someone might have scratched in some letters in the left field
It has AU sharpness, but no luster shows in the photos. There is also the graffiti issue. I’d say AU, details.
