[QUOTE="kanga, post: 7954497, member: 9270"]It's the 3rd rarest Variety 2 (Reduced Diameter) Capped Bust quarter. My reference has it as a R-5+. So IMO the important factors are: (1) authenticity (is it really a B-7?) (2) originality (not a DETAILS coin) (3) grade I bought mine raw on eBay. NGC verified it as a B-7. They slabbed it as Fine DETAILS (I knew it was going to get the DETAILS label). I suspect other people knew what it was hence the price was a bit high. At the time a straight graded 1831 with no variety attribution was cataloging $135. It took a bid of $399 for me to win it. Here's what mine looks like: [IMG]https://www.dcderoo.com/25-1831-B7-o-35.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.dcderoo.com/25-1831-B7-r-35.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
