Bust Quarter with rather large die crack.

Do you like? Slabbable?

  • I'd think that the rim issues are within the tolerances for the grade. Slabbable IMO.

    For Capped Bust stuff, I think the rim ding isn't automatic rejection. For more recent coins it probably would be, though, except for some key dates.

    Looks just like this one currently being sold on the BST.

    I don't think it will slab. JMHO. --Jerry

    1836 B-1 Obverse Die stage - 3 / Reverse die stage - 3 R-2.

    This obverse continues to break up and develops several more die breaks. A major one from this break, through the chin, and to the rim inbetween star-1 & star-2 was the last to develop.

    If your coin was higher grade, you should be able to see that where the crack goes through the eye brow and out to star -7, an internal cud develops at the brow.

    This very prolific reverse was used to produce 6 die marriages, one in 1835, B-8 (which may have been struck in 1836), two in 1836, B-1 & B-5, and three in 1837, B-1, B-3 & B-4. The crack through STATES never developed a retained cud and was stable throughout all of the strikings.

    I think it might slab, but it all depends on how tight the grading company is on any given day...

    Gotta love them Capped bust Quarters! image

    True, but look again. I actually think I changed my mind, and took it down. I want to keep it and build a CBQ year set image



    And Quarternut, you --never-- cease to amaze me with your knowledge

    Huh, that didn't last too long. The coin sure seems to be back up for sale on the BST.
