I won my first large sized bust quarter on an Ebay auction with Buy-it-now. I believe that it might upgrade. Anyone else have an opinion or care to comment.

    It looks like a really nice coin for the grade. The current bid is only $110, but that amount of money can't buy coins like that in this market.

    Don't know about upgrade, but it has nice strong lettering on the reverse and nice surfaces. Nice coin.
    I have icon envy.

    I like the coin very much. Congratulations. I think the rev is VF, but I think the obv is more properly F15.

    Of course, grading is an art and not a science...

    that is a very nice original quarter, and would not look out of place in a F-15 holder, Don't think it's quite a 20, however that coin has more eye appeal than lots of VFs out there, and feel $175 is a great price, and would pay that easy.

    I think it is a great coin, and I almost regret not pulling the trigger when I first saw it posted image

    Nice grab

    I agree with most of the others. It may upgrade, but is fantastic for the grade, and I hope you didn't have to mortgage your house. NICE DEAL.

    i would call it vf-25, but value considerably higher if as original as it looks.

    Looks nice. I would have called it F15.

    If I saw it first, I would have thought hard about pulling the trigger. The amount above sheet may have stopped me. (Of course I have not sound a nice one near sheet price and so I have none!)

    Wow! DorkKarl is a genius. He totally nailed it!

    That's a nice little bump. I wouldn't have graded that coin that high, but I agree with the other comments that it was an excellent looking coin. My thoughts were more in line with EvillageProwler's. Good job.
