I have this one, which I’ve been calling my “Hansen reject”, but “cast-off” seems a more appropriate term.
Is the blue or white label more recent?
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
While a "cast off"
I really like the look. At PCGS, 5 in this grade and 43 higher.
"David Akers (1975/88): Scarce in all grades and extremely rare better than EF. In fact, even strictly graded EF specimens are rare. Once again, the old reverse hub was used, and most known specimens are softly struck on the eagle's right leg. I have only seen two strictly uncirculated pieces. and perhaps half a dozen AU's. This date is tied with the 1865-S and 1866-S as having the fourth lowest average grade of any quarter eagle in our 226 catalogue auction survey. I consider this date, and all the early S mint quarter eagles, to be grossly undervalued."
He who knows he has enough is rich.
I don't know. I bought both of mine in early 2021.
Here's my cast-off:
The funny thing is I didn't even know it WAS a cast-off until it arrived.

Some very nice coins being shown here today.

This was one of the last Classic Head quarter eagles I needed to complete set. It's in a "Hanson" holder. I doubt that this one ever made it to his core collection given the resources and quality he collects.
This is graded MS-61. It's really an AU, but it's what you normally see for the lower end, Mint State graded coins.
I got this from DLRC about a year ago, and was thrilled: MS-66+ CAC
Killer coin Eldo.

I put this in the other thread but will post again ... not very expensive and wiil probably keep for awhile.
I' m also proud of the name on the bottom of the label! Only 2 BU's at PCGS, Hansen got one of them (MS-62) and I got this coin!
Nice coin and color! Rare date, love that the mintage is approx. 8000.
Very nice coin. I really like how they maintained the old TrueView!
