Favorite quarter reverse

I can't decide between the Barber:


And the Standing Liberty:



The original Washington quarter had a nice reverse as well. I'm also partial to the pre-Barber quarters with the scrawny eagles because they're funny looking and make me laugh.

1853 arrows and rays

 

i want them both

 

I actually have an 1853 quarter, which is my oldest quarter and tied for second oldest coin in my collection. Bought it a month or two ago. The rays were one year only, correct? Did the arrows indicate a lighter coin? It's not in great condition but it's still cool looking. Here are some pictures of it along with a Barber I bought on the same day:




Is it worth $15?

 

The best quarter reverse is on the small capped bust. It's got more character than the seated liberty.

 

I vote for the Standing Liberty reverse without stars. It looks like are real eagle, not like a dead, stuffed, and stretched one.

 

Standing Liberty reverse - very majestic eagle!

 

I like the Flying Eagle Penny..... But that's an obverse

 

Yes - I think those are the nicest looking pennies ever minted. I used to collect them when they were going for around 20$ for a VF-XF then the prices went up and I slowed down. Have about 60 pieces so far.

 

Do quarter eagles count??? lol
The famous "Cal." quarter eagle

Here's my favorite quarter DOLLAR reverse.

 

I choose the Standing Liberty Reverse



Bugo: You should add a poll to the thread.

 

Can I see a photo of the obverse on this one? It's gorgeous!

 

standing liberty...

 

It's an "eaphant" - wings of and eagle and the body of a pheasant!

 

Of the 2 I prefer the slq. For quarters I prefer followed by first ha pic Newman ms 67 coin

 

This...

 

Also known as a chicken eagle in the period

 

Yes a 1 year type. Definitely worth $15 as there's always a demand for budget oriented type set collectors or yn looking for an a&r quarter

 

Heraldic Eagle

and

Arrows and Rays

 

Sure. It's a late die stage 1833 B-1, AU58.
