Barber quarter grade?

looking for guidance on this 1892 O barber quarter that is up for auction.

Tough for me to tell...

It is a hideously ugly AU details problem coin. Stay patient, you can find a much better 92-O than that one. And it is a quarter, not a half.

 

Thanks!

 

If you feel confident enough in your abilities, this one might benefit from a dip.

 

Not much eye appeal. +1

 

One one thousand...two one thousand...panics and ruins coin...
My thoughts exactly on the dip. The details underneath the shmutz look nice.

 

My concern is that the obverse surfaces have a bigger problem than the terminal state toning. I wouldn't touch this coin with a ten foot pole.

 

If it was the 92 S, I might take the chance, but the O has many nicer in the same price range available without needing a Dip.

 

The auction price is too high anyway. What's the deal with sale prices on EBTH.com? They seem to sell coins at a very high price. Who are these bidders?

 

I'd gamble $50-60. I'm sure the auction is more than that right now.

 

AU details, environmental damage.

Hideously ugly. Hard pass.

And, a dip won't fix that - those surfaces are irreparably damaged.

Yeah, no. Not worth it.
