1828 US 25c.......B-2 variety.

See the Truview way below...............PCGS MS-62.

Grade opinion would be appreciated.

There is strong cartwheel luster, but there are two small marks in the obverse fields.

My very broad range of grade is minimum au55, maximum ms62.

Don't know if I'll be sending it in.

    Nice looking quarter. I'm thinking AU58.

    Based on the second set of photos, I would think 53/55 max.
    First blurry set had me thinking MS. Lol

    Nice, higher AU look to it, I like it.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks to me like a mid to high AU coin, and would submit if it were mine. Cheers, RickO

    AU55. The wear is obvious and precludes a higher grade. Regardless, a very nice coin!

    Attractive slider, possibly 58+.

  • keyman64keyman64 Posts: 15,519 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I too am in the 55-58 camp.

    Outstanding look! Good shot at 58, with 55 probably the floor.

    AU55, possibly 58 if the luster pops.
    Nice coin, definitely would send it in!

  • scubafuelscubafuel Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very hard to tell the grade from those pics, but my guess would be either 58 or 62. Great coin for the scarce B2 variety! It should be high in the condition census.

  • The_Dinosaur_ManThe_Dinosaur_Man Posts: 997 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sweet coin! My guess is 55 because of the marks.

    AU55

    Way too much wear for MS

  • jacrispiesjacrispies Posts: 1,019 ✭✭✭✭✭

    AU-58, don't send it in. Enjoy it by holding it in your hand!

    If you are selling it then I would submit it for maximum return.

    AU55 but it would probably grade higher. Might even pull a low MS with some luck.

    AU55

  • CharlotteDudeCharlotteDude Posts: 3,068 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like it as an AU-55, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find one that nice in a 58 holder.

    Nice piece too bad it has those marks at 8 and 2 o'clock. 55 easy maybe 58 on a good day

    Purchased it in the 'AU' range and not in a PCGS or NGC slab.....I realize I didn't answer your question.

    Very nice coin.

  • 1TwoBits1TwoBits Posts: 460 ✭✭✭✭

    That's a GREAT coin @DoubleEagle59!

    I missed your post back in May, but saw the new post with the submission grade recently and meant to swing back around to comment. A RAW problem free 1828 B-2 in the grade you found is really an exciting find. The 1828 B-2 is an R-5- variety and very tough in higher grades, especially uncirculated.

    Did you look at the census in any of the more recent early quarter books? It's possible your coin could be one of the higher up pieces in the census that have been lost in tracking over time. It might be worth a check of the prior appearances of the examples that have not had a public sale in the last 20 years to see if they might be a match.

    Is this a type coin for you, or are you collecting bust quarters by variety, date, or ?

    My limited research has only one higher - a pcgs ms63.
