<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2370754, member: 31286&quot;]I&#039;m curious about other&#039;s perspective on this.&nbsp; So, here&#039;s pictures of two gold 1840-O quarter eagles - both NGC graded au55.&nbsp; One has a rare, excellent strike, the other is pristine but with a far more typical weak strike - the one with the good strike is probably the best strike you will ever find in an 1840-O quarter eagle.&nbsp; However the coin with the good strike has some dings, especially on the reverse.&nbsp; I assume the price of the one with the dings is less, but I don&#039;t know that for sure.&nbsp; As far as I know, neither is CAC certified (which very few 1840-O quarter eagles are, anyway).&nbsp; The photography is quite different, so that makes it a bit more subjective, but the condition of each is clear.&nbsp; I know for certain that the one with the dings has a lot of luster, I can only assume the one with the weak strike has good luster as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Which would &quot;you&quot; prefer, and why?&nbsp; Or are they equally desirable for different reasons?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
