    Looks counterfit - is that what you're picking up Ray?

    No such thing as a "O" mint 1875 Quarter

    So, could this be a rare "midnight mint" half dollar struck later? Glued on "O" mintmark? It does look like real quarter.

    The reverse is a pre 1866 coin. Most likely an 1844-O.

    You can see where the two halves were glued together when you look at the edge of the obverse from 3:00 to 8:00.

    mna, this type of fraud would be sure to ruin the 100% feedback rating, no?

    Who really cares? The bid is 6 bucks.

    response from the seller to my question.

    I also sent this guy a message about his auction:

    Dear bbc357,

    Are you asserting that this is a real, authentic 1875-O US Quarter??

    Dear bbc357,

    Forgot to mention-there is no such thing as an 1875-O seated quarter. I will be forwarding this to the proper authorities.

    Thanks for your understanding. I assume you have never made a mistake.

    Either he knows nothing about coins (which I doubt) or he's embarrassed he got caught.
