collection of early quarters

Baley · January 13, 2007 8:41AM

here are 36 different die varieties and die states, four more will make a roll

I still need most of the really rare ones but do have a few R4s and R5s

STONE · January 13, 2007 8:42AM

Thats very neat

Dennis88 · January 13, 2007 8:47AM

Reminds me of the 1794 cent roll ever made. I recall seeing it on the internet, although I'm not sure where..

Don't forget that to have a NEAT and TIDY roll, you must BANG each end on the desk after rolling.

topstuf · January 14, 2007 6:13AM

Oh, and send me row 1, column B in pic 2. It looks crusty.

Baley · January 14, 2007 8:18AM

topstuf, you picked a crusty as well as scarce coin

however the one to the left of that is the rare prime die state without the crack at the 2

cheezhed · January 14, 2007 10:04AM

I just love that set!

Raw and crusty!

Barbercoin · January 14, 2007 10:11AM

Wonderful. What a great set.

Nice set, Baley! Coming very close to a roll of these early quarters, congratulations!

BigRed · February 3, 2007 10:12AM

I like your set of quarters, they have a lot of history in them.

Great collectors collection Baley!!!!

Baley · September 3, 2013 5:30PM

Thanks, still adding a few new ones here and there as opportunities present, most of these these next are from a variety collection broken up last year

Here's a B-8 with decent detail and skin

And two I haven't cracked out of the seller's holders yet, got these varieties for the first time the past couple of weeks, the 1819 is a B-3 and the 1828 is a B-4

these last two I really like the surfaces, would like to find a few more like that in original VGish condition

MidLifeCrisis · September 3, 2013 6:30PM

Neat collection.

thisnamztaken · September 3, 2013 6:50PM

Nice group!

sparky64 · September 3, 2013 7:11PM

Great collection.
I'm especially liking those last two also.

RYK · September 3, 2013 8:35PM

Good stuff and I really appreciate the connoisseurship.

bidask · September 3, 2013 10:31PM

very nice collection

shorecoll · September 3, 2013 11:32PM

What's the big deal??? All this fuss over $9 in quarters. Get a life!!!

Eagleguy · September 3, 2013 11:40PM

VERY nice collection!

Obviously, a very popular set: Link to PCGS registry for early quarters by variety

I'll probably send all these in someday for trueviews and holders, but want to get it to a certain point first. I figured early on that I'd never be able to get very far on these if I went much higher than Fine in grade, and even if I did, the keys would still be lower grade when I eventually could afford them, plus I also really like coins that circulated a lot before being saved, they just have so much history to them in terms of handling real economic transactions, as long as they have identifiable details and die traits. So, a relatively matched set of VG (give or take) coins with all the die varieties and as many die states as possible is the goal for 1796-1828.

Haven't really started with the small size 1831-1838 coins, have a few pieces in VF as that will be the goal with those, but concentrating on the large size for now, in fits and starts

scubafuel · September 4, 2013 2:11AM

Great collection Baley! A set in VG will be a challenge for sure.

It's fun to see all those bust quarters in one place. I wish some other collectors of the series would put together a group pic like that!

Billet7 · September 4, 2013 2:40AM

Really cool set! Early quarters are cool!

johnny9434 · September 4, 2013 5:24AM

neat and wtg. i hope you get the other 4 pretty soon

rec78 · September 4, 2013 4:40PM

I love bust quarters, these babies made their rounds. I have a date set from 1804-28(no 1823 or 1827 tho) with a few varieties. These coins are so cool- even well-worn and beat up ones are great.

<< <i>Obviously, a very popular set: Link to PCGS registry for early quarters by variety >>

Coincidentally (?), between yesterday and today, the number of Early Quarters by Variety sets registered at PCGS has doubled!

Yesterday at this time, there was one set with one coin. Now a second set with 5 coins has joined Evergreen. Welcome Shogun!

edit: I see that Shogun is our own Scubafuel! You have the all-time #1 set, and you've got two of the more difficult ones out of the way already (1822 B-2 and 1825 B-1)

coindeuce · September 5, 2013 1:58AM

Too bad that PCGS won't recognize the 1815 and 1825 varieties with E and L counterstamp. Do they have a set Registry for the Trade Dollars with chopmarks ?

scubafuel · September 5, 2013 8:39AM

Hi Baley, this was my aborted attempt to start a set at PCGS, before realizing that 90+% of my coins cannot be added without sending them back for attributions, even though they are all in PCGS holders and correctly attributed by moi

Needless to say, I will save the couple thousand dollars this would require, and spend that that money on more coins.

I guess I should take down the set as well? Oh well.

Matt

Billet7 · September 5, 2013 9:23AM

BOOM!!! Now there's three baby!

Complete varieties set I mean.

Patches · September 5, 2013 9:35AM

Very cool...fun collection

Dave99B · September 5, 2013 1:32PM

'Over the top ' cool factor!

Something you don't see everyday. Great looking set....

Dave

Moldnut · September 5, 2013 1:38PM

<< <i>BOOM!!! Now there's three baby!

Maybe Ill jump in too

Eagleguy · September 6, 2013 12:21AM

I thought about adding my set even though I might have enough coins to put me at or near the top but I have no intention of re-slabbing any of my other varieties. Anybody else notice that 1825 B-3 coins get listed as the B-1 variety?? (see the SLW set for example, it happened with mine too)

JH

Billet7 · September 6, 2013 12:40AM

Yeah, I've contacted customer support about their 1825 bust quarter issues, they haven't done anything about it. The price guide is out of wack too!

mrearlygold · September 6, 2013 1:22AM

<< <i>I hop eyou dont intent on acutally putting them all in a tube together!

Why not do it and then one by one try to identify each one and see how far you get ?
