Awhile back I made a thread about an 1849 quarter eagle I had bought that had damage on it, mostly on the reverse and probably from a fire! Anyways, I realized I could get a better one so here it is! Gold Rush year in California, just something I always wanted! Sellers pics! NGC/PCGS graded population 234 Mintage 23,294 https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1849-quarter-eagle-in-a-yellow-slab.364098/
I love it. It would have been nice if that company would have removed the dirt FOR FREE (if you asked) and left the "skin" on the fields before they slabbed it. The grade would not go up but I'll bet it would have looked much better to you.
Here's the first one I got with the damage. That's right, I wear it, terrible pics as I gotta get used to this new iphone!
