<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2694161, member: 46237&quot;]A while back I cherry picked a significant capped bust quarter variety, an 1834 B-5, in AU. This is the scarcest of three varieties with the reverse from the 1834 presentation proof sets (like the King of Siam set). It&#039;s an R5 and near impossible to find an example above VF.</p><p><br /></p><p>The example had brown terminal toning, but there was evidence of luster in the protected areas. I had enough sense not to try and improve it. NGC graded it an AU50, making it something like the 5th finest known according to the JRCS census. While this kind of look would be very undesirable on say a Morgan dollar, on <i>circulated bust coinage</i> it&#039;s a completely acceptable look that is best left alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
