<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26718932, member: 101855&quot;]They were all weak for one reason or another. For some reason, the people who were marketing them wanted the half dollar and the quarter eagle in low relief. It ruined the half dollar, and made the quarter eagle less attractive than it might have. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1706030[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>That quarter eagle you have, [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER], is one the best I have seen in any grade. Some dealers don&#039;t like this coin at all. I remember Ed Leventhal, who was one of the principles at JJ Teaparty when it was housed in an on-street Boston store, making the sign of the cross when I mentioned it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s mine. I picked it out from about 50 pieces one dealer had in stock almost 20 years ago. They sold for more money back then. I am financially buried now, 19 years later. It&#039;s graded MS-64. Maybe the market will perk up during the Semiquincentennial. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1706031[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
