<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 3198335, member: 31286&quot;]Here&#039;s an example - an enigma of sorts - and perhaps an opposite case.&nbsp; I obtained this a number of years ago for a price that was about 2/3 of the price guide. A difference of over $1,000.&nbsp; It&#039;s a first year of issue, very low estimated survival rate, has great luster and is a rare variety of the issue with a highly unusual good strike (most 1840-O&#039;s have terrible strikes) - however it has that ding on the reverse.&nbsp; Did that ding on the reverse, which isn&#039;t even in terribly bad location have that dramatic effect on the perceived value - or is the quarter eagle market just that bad? haha.&nbsp; Since I was collecting US coins minted in 1840 at the time, for me it was great find.
