<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2925941, member: 10461&quot;]This one intrigued me.&nbsp; Per Numismedia, the 1853-O trends $43 In F12 and $150 In VF20, retail.&nbsp; It&#039;s a fairly big jump.&nbsp; If one has a $100 budget, it seems the smart play would be to try to find a F15 coin as close to VF as possible, for as close to F12 money as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked eBay.&nbsp;&nbsp; There were 1853-O quarters under a hundred bucks, of course, but I didn&#039;t like any but one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://m.ebay.com/itm/1853-O-Seated-Liberty-Quarter-25-Cents-Semi-Key-Date-Free-Shipping-6618/372156872749?epid=170414644&amp;hash=item56a647382d:g:1koAAOSwhpZZ-89e" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://m.ebay.com/itm/1853-O-Seated-Liberty-Quarter-25-Cents-Semi-Key-Date-Free-Shipping-6618/372156872749?epid=170414644&amp;hash=item56a647382d:g:1koAAOSwhpZZ-89e" rel="nofollow">This one.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>At $79.95, it&#039;s not a red-hot <i>rip</i> at the price, but seems a not-<i>too</i>-crazy retail price to me, if you like the coin as F15. A TPG might only go F12 on it, though, which makes eighty bucks a tad steep.&nbsp; However, the coin looks appealingly original and unmessed-with, unlike most of the rest I saw.&nbsp; As of this post, that&#039;s the best 1853-O quarter in two-figure territory I saw.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller is completely unknown to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So not really a hardcore recommendation,&nbsp; per se- but perhaps a nod.&nbsp; I was just exercising my own curiosity because I like that midgrade 19th century type stuff (The sort of stuff that&#039;s bread and butter to folks like the Dansco 7070 collectors.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]709520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]709521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
