Reveal time! Again, lots of correct guesses, maybe in part to knowing it was a rattler. Got a (seemingly fake) PQ sticker because it's just bland and not gold. Still a very nice coin for the grade (I think) and happy to add it to my collection! Thanks for playing my guessing game again. "Until next time, take care of yourself, and others."
Curious...what are the premiums for these Quarter Eagles in grades just before condition rarity ? I'm wondering what has happened to the price/premium in the last 5 years since the gold price has doubled.
I would imagine the premium to gold have decreased. They certainly have for gold $20s and raw pre-1933 common date gold. I think the quarter eagle in this post will still have a modest rattler premium but it could be less (percentage wise) than when gold was at lower levels.
