Looks like a scan. Tough to grade but I'll say it's worth more than just the silver value.

 

I agree... and I think what you paid was a fair price. Also, the seller was honest in describing the "light cleaning and retoning".

 

Where did you see this info?

 

Yes i would say it is worth more then melt by at least double !!

 

Do a search of completed listings (1876-S quarter) on eBay. The photos the OP posted are the seller's pics, so it's easy to find.

 

Considering this beat up '76-S sold for $18.50, I'd say the OP got a heck of a bargain at 3X melt...

 

the listing for the coin mentioned a "light" cleaning and retoned back nicely. the way that the seller described "retoned" would suggest that the coin toned back after the cleaning and had not been altered, except for the light cleaning itself. but i don't know because i have not received the coin in the mail yet.

 

i received the coin and it is f-vf cleaned, a decent coin for the money.
