What do you think of this Bust Quarter?

python

I found this on a dealers site yesterday. It's graded by ANACS as EF45 but dealer calls it EF40, the price is $550. I'm thinking of buying if it's still available. Any opinions?

I like the coin. I think you should buy it. I think its a full EF45.

Although I wish that the obverse picture were as good as the reverse photo, it looks like a nice coin. It's getting harder and harder to find these higher grade circulated coins properly graded these days.

I think ANACS is right. If u can get it at EF-40 money buy it up!

I like that one a lot! Nice coin, and a reasonable price.

great looking coin for the grade

I agree, nice coin, and a B-8 too! I'd snap it up! Where is it listed??

Great coin. If you need it for your collection and have the money to spend on one, I would get it.

Nice coin. The stars are weak but the rest of the coin looks like a solid EF-45 to me.

I'll add my voice to the chorus: it looks like a winner.

Based on your post here I checked every dealer currently listed by the ANA, found this coin and bought it out from underneath you. Sorry.

OK I made that up. That coin looks like one of the minority that are original and properly graded. I would call it a choice XF and I would buy it.

I'd have to see the remaining luster to make the call between EF40 and 45, but it looks like a nice original coin regardless. If you feel like the money's right I'd pull the trigger.

Even if it doesn't meet the technical luster and detail requirements for a 45, it may be worth choice EF money based on the attractive color and original surfaces.

I hope you bought it by now. Where can you get a better or less expensive one? Please tell?

Thanks for all the opinions.

Looks like a shot AU. I graded professionaly for three years though I still would have to see up close.

beautiful coin in terms of detail. at that level, you must grade by surface quality & % of remaining mint luster.

i'd buy it

Python,
By now I hope you have this coin nicely tucked away. I agree that this seems like a solid addition to a circulated bust quarter collection. The price seems fine; I would like a little bit of luster hidden away.
Perhaps Baley can explain the differences between the Browning 3,8,9,10 varieties (all listed as Breen 3895; normal date, obv broad dentiles; rev narrow dentiles).
Enjoy!

I called this morning and ordered. I'll post a better scan when I receive the coin. Thanks to everyone for the input.
