I like this coin, now this one shows crust. I say its a 40, but a nice 40.
This is what a nice circulated bustie should look like. They should not have rainbows, and they should not be white.

PCGS F-12 NGC MUCH higher!

I like the "Look" of this piece. I'd say going by what I can see and can't see xf-45.

Thanks to all for the kind words, This coin has kind of a neat story behind it so I thought I would share it..
My wife and I sell antique furniture. 20 years ago we bought an old chest of drawers at a weekly auction. We put it out for sale, 2 months later it sold and I had to deliver it.
Well when We picked it up I heard something slide. Looked inside behind the drawers and found a small leather change purse. Inside was this bustie and about 40 other raw coins from the 1800's.
so far I have only had 2 graded. This bustie and a 1835 bust quarter. I will include scan of it . Also there were IHC’S, Flyers, ½ dimes, dimes, 2 cent pcs, 20 cent pc and other cool coins. Of course they are all circs. I did let a friend of mine evaluate them 20 years ago, and for his trouble I let him have his pick. To this day I have no idea what he took for his pick, but he was a coin collector then and I was a newp.


Here is the bust quarter

ER

Cool story.

Cladiator

Great story and great quarter!

You have the 1835 B6 variety. Rated as an R4 coin in the Browning book but most recently rated as an R3 in the JRCS Bust Quarter Census published in the June 2005 issue of the JR Journal. Very cool and long die crack that is plainly visible from rim and into the bust at the neck. Also a smaller crack from rim to curl below S13. The reverse has a crack that completely bisects the coin from A1, through beak, body, clas and terminates at the bottom rim to the left of the denomination. Yet another fun crack from the rim at U into the left wing. Excellent coin!

JRocco
