[QUOTE="Otis2u, post: 3377598, member: 100666"]Hello all, I have the following coin that I would appreciate any and all suggestions, advice and thoughts concerning its condition? Receiving the Good, Bad & Ugly news will be viewed as being most helpful. Thanks to all in advance! Sorry for not posting a picture of said coin but honestly I haven’t yet figured out how to post pictures on this site, but I’ll learn! Coin in question: Liberty Seated Quarter 1854-O but (HUGE O) mint mark with Arrows Regular Strike ——————————————————————— This coin would most likely grade on a conservative scale, EF 40+ The problem is, this coin is very slightly bent. It still lays flat, both sides, but certainly still has a noticeable bend to it. In my opinion, much to nice a coin then to be used as just a “Hole Filler” Your thoughts or ideas if I still maybe should have coin graded by PCGS or such? I have very little invested in the coin, having purchased it from a private seller with approximately $250.00 FV in other quarters, of which were Washington, Barber, Liberty and Seated, all at below the then Silver Melt Value about 8 months back. Other then the slight bend the Quarter has no damage whatsoever, as in scratches, nicks, marks or discoloration. I wish there was a safe way to straighten the Quarter back out flat without doing damage to it, but I wouldn’t know how personally? Kindest regards![/QUOTE]
