<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3197451, member: 1765&quot;]When you consider what to pay for eye appeal, you have to also consider how the coin is graded.&nbsp; Great eye appeal for a 62 may be typical eye appeal for a 64 or sub-standard for a 66.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the 1862 quarter, based only on the OP&#039;s picture, I like it.&nbsp; I&#039;m not enough of a specialist in seated quarters to know if it&#039;s typical or exceptional, though, so I would not be ponying up extra bucks without first forming a basis for comparison, which it sounds like you did.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for how much extra to pay, I&#039;d have to look at price guides and pop reports for higher grades.&nbsp; MS62 is $550, MS63 is $850, and MS64 is $1250.&nbsp; Those higher grades tell me what a typical, correctly graded coin should go for.&nbsp; In order for me to pay 63 money for a 62, it has to look better than the typical 63. Likewise when comparing to 64 money.&nbsp; I&#039;d also have to consider that the grade on the holder is going to be a sticking point come time to sell for a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
