Does anyone know of a good solvent to clean NGC slabs, although she is going for a cross... I want to have it clear as possible.. Don't need a 'DNC' because the graders didnt feel like looking under the scuff.

Always trying.. still can't seem to catch the metal flow like you do Lucy..
<< <i>Very nice. As for cleaning the slab I would personally just set her free and stick her in an album. But that is just me.
I was thinking about doing this with my Bust Quarter set and working on a registry Bust Half set...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>Outstanding coin. I think it's a B1 marriage. >>
At first I thought you were wrong about this being B-1, because there is not supposed to be a period after the 50 C. My guess is there is a mark where the period would be, not a period. Must be B-1.
If the coin has luster, PCGS should give it at least AU50. If the luster is present, NGC probably called it AU55. JMHO

Mozin,
I went through the exact same thought process. Had it narrowed down to B1 and then started wondering if that was a period or a "spot". I ended up checking all the other marriages just to be sure. The "spot" is in the wrong position for it to be a period. If it were a period it should be up a bit higher and a tad farther away from the C. This wasn't the easiest quarter to attribute. Was fun though

Damn you are good
Yes it was a slight spot.. almost in the right place lol... Is this more rare than others?
The 1834 B1 is just about the most common 1834 Bust Quarter die marriage there is. So no, it's not any more rare than the others. However that doesn't diminish the coin in any way. You've got youself one seriously nice, problem free, eye appealing AU bust quarter...not everyone can say they have that. Your coin is a keeper in every sense of the word.
ps. Sometimes these little buggers get spots in the weirdest places and weirdest shapes. I once had a bust half with a toning spot that looked exactly like a tiny "3"...very odd it was.
BTW... it's graded NGC XF 45...
I want to crack and try for an upgrade but I have had awful luck going NGC-PCGS lately sigh
if it aint broke dont fix it

Like I said earlier, "If the coin has luster...". NGC must not have liked the luster much to only give it XF45. Bust Quarters in XF45 are not that easy to find, at least encapsulated by PCGS/NGC.
Edit to add: I can't type today lol
