My new sorta old quarter

Just arrived yesterday in the mail.

I'm really liking early quarters. This is my 6th draped bust and 16th pre-seated quarter, and I'm really getting a taste for them.

I had been buying bust half dollars (dimes and half dimes too) and it was only a matter of time before quarters caught on. They do

appear to be tougher to get a hold of, and the 1820's have a couple of killer dates. The 1823 and 1827 will most likely never darken

my doorstep, although I'd love to have multiples of each.

One thing about all early bust (both draped bust and "Turban head") types, all the myriad die marriages, die cracks/breaks, cuds and

other such anomolies really adds a lot to the enjoyment of the search.

    BTW, the board member (stman) that I purchased this one from is a pure joy to work with.

    We have done a fair amount of business recently and every one has been smooth as a babies butt!

    Yeah, can you imagine dropping that into a public telephone back getting ready for the war of 1812? image

    Okay, maybe not, but maybe dropping four of those on the counter of the local taco bell for a burrito back when JQ Adams was the President? image

    Beautiful example you have there Lanlord, beautiful. What die marriage is it?

    ST is a good guy with good coins and good taste. I've never seen him in person though so I didn't know about the smoth as a babies tookis thing LOL

    It's a browning 2, I haven't looked it up in the "users guide" to see what the rarity factor is, I would imagine it's a 1 or 2, but I'll post later if it's more rare than that.

    I met stman at SF last year during the ANA, only in passing and I was all doped up because of my hips so I don't recall testing the smooth as a babies tookis theory, but as far as business deals, he's top notch.

    Lanlord, always a pleasure with you as well. Glad you like it, as I sure did and hated to let it go. But, had to make room for other interests that came available. Enjoy!

    Not my series (yet...), but that one is a nice one. A looker and a keeper.
    And I have to agree- stman makes it easy to send him big checks because he has nice coinsimage
    You know he is not going to try to slip one by you because if it is his, you know no one slipped one by him.image
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Isn't it ironic how these coins were MONEY back when they were made-Now we use checks and credit cards and PayPal to buy the MONEYimage
