Here is another one. Once again, I haven't got around to re-imaging with less-intense bulbs. When I get to it, I will re-post with better pics.
This is the 3rd 1907 Quarter Eagle I talked about. Was indecisive but have now recently purchased with the 1851 thanks to all of your encouragement that you think it would straight-grade.

I love the layout and the way you presented your specimens! nicely done.
1907-P Gold Quarter Eagles... here is a potential #4 out of recent specimens I have been showing. Color and surface presentation is really nice. The negative is a long scrape across the face bringing the grade down to lower uncirculated. Other than that, I like the coin but have hesitated to purchase. Cellphone picture:

I just keep drinking in and enjoying your '46 in 64+! what a great-looking coin... really all if them look great. You have all of them in your collection? very impressive!
@JonBrand83 ... Indians? I do too. What I really am learning to like is the luster on MS64+ specimens... whether the Indian or the Liberty profile.
Here is another one I am considering...

This is another one I was considering but passed on. An 1853-P $2.50... but this one has a long scratch above the eagle horizontally. Cellphone pics, one of them sub-par so apologies...
It is a higher grade. On any of these, I look for something that will straight grade. Let me know if I should change my mind? thanks.

@PerryHall said: @Crypto---I would just take a fine tip Sharpie pen and neatly print "180 degree rotated die" on the slab. Anyone buying this coin can easily confirm this error. Very nice coin by the way.
You would think, but I wonder some days how many collectors really look beyond the label and/or sticker to the coin itself.
And even another for consideration but avoided... a second '14-D... but this one seems to be previously dipped or overly "reflective" thus my hesitation.
Question is, if Details UNC, and I can get it for $700., do you think I can get value back on a sale? try for a PC holder you think?

Heavily hair-lined on the reverse field. Harshly cleaned. Hard pass.

I have noticed that perhaps 5-10 collectors have been working on 1840-1907 $2.50 date run/mint mark sets since around 2015. It is getting difficult for me to find PCGS/CAC coins to fill the gaps in my set. Below is one of my favorites.
Here’s a $2 1/2 but it’s lead or white metal and unique:

You can try soaking it in acetone followed by a clean acetone rinse. That dirt doesn't bother me and if it were my coin, I wouldn't mess with it.

@sedulous said: @pcgscacgold Nice MS64 1912 Quarter Eagle! Here is mine... returned this past week from the graders. MS62.
Thanks. It’s lacking a CAC sticker but I like the look of it. Hard to get these and was totally surprised to see what the price guide shows for this coin.
Great coins in this thread.
Here's a few of mine in the raw and kindly excuse the terrible picture quality because it was taken with an ancient Samsung phone (actual reason is that I really suck at photography and it is easier to blame the camera)
Here is my first Liberty Quarter Eagle, which I bought circa 1965.
Today it's in an NGC MS-62 holder. I think that the grading is very conservative, but perhaps they down graded it because it has satin, not blazing, luster.

Bill, love the backstory on your 1900 GQE. Appreciate you sharing how special your GQE is.
I bought that 1900 $2.50 gold from a store called "Rogers Photo" which was located in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. He was mainly into photography, but he sold coins and records on the side along with some items for the beach. You find his name now and then on old postcards with pictures of the "Jolly Trolley" and other often seen sights in the area.

The mark might also be a struck-through planchet flake.
Regardless, I think MS-63, so long as there are no significant hairlines.
i was going to post i think it may be a strike-through so i'll agree with dan.
it KINDA looks like it is coming outside the other side of the A and the metal does not look scraped or the like. can't tell for sure even when enlarging the image though.

Love these little coins. I can't imagine the immense undertaking to put together a complete date and mint mark set of these coins.
The 1899 has a mintage of only 27,200. MS-65
The 1899 QE gets little respect. Only 178 are graded PCGS 64 and it's $1000, 84 of them at 65 for $1750. There are only about 50 graded higher. Even the 1898, with 24,000 minted isn't crazy expensive compared to what has happened in the other gold series. I bought the 1898 and 1899 a few years back in PCGS 64. Fun to own and not as expensive to buy.
Thanks for info! I am just diving into gold, after being focused completely on silver issues...Lot's to learn! I really like the look of this particular coin.
why isn't that in a 7 holder? i see the tpgs cramming all kinds of beat up gold into holders at least 2 grades above what the coins look like and yours looks like a 7 but its in a 5 holder? what did i miss?

@JonBrand83 Jon, sweet color on that '06. I presume that was your reason for obtaining it?
