Hey all,
Picked this up on the bay a short while ago and was wondering if I could get your opinions of it. Based off of the crudy eBay pics I put this coin as a B3 with a rarity level of High R5 possibly R6. Here are my in hand photos and I'm inclined to think that it actually is a B3 like I suspected. Your attribution input is greatly appreciated. Note the line from her chin to her bust is an old scratch and not a die crack...it's not raised and does not extend into her face or bust. Oh yeah, I'd say she gets a VF20/25.

<< <i>I like the coin and you have the right reverse for B-3, but check to make sure it isn't B-1 which used the same reverse die. I can't tell from the photo.

I don't think it's B-1 because of the 7 right off the bat. On a B-1 the upright of 7 is about even with the left of the curl. On this one it is centered like with B-2 and B-3. Also under magnification there are no signs of the die crack above the date to the hair and into S13 and S12.
<< <i>My attitude on the Bust Quarters is to not worry about the rarity and just simply buy what I like.
Exactly, the rarity is just icing on the cake
