For some reason I like her...

Speaking of grade, how does she weigh-in?

    I concur with VF, and as you say, not the highest grade...but PERFECT!!! This is the look I go for when buying seated quarters. I'm happy with mid grade coins, they served the public well, and they are still nicely detailed, and their cheaper than their higher grade brethren... What's not to love!

    Nothing wrong with coins like that in circulated grades. Dont let anyone tell you or make you think its not nice! BTW, I give it a grade of VF25, maybe even VF30. Enjoy!

    Nice, original, perfect for the grade coin. Every circulated coin from this era should look this grood! I like it.

    You seem to have developed a great eye for nice coins.
    All of the coins I have seen you post lately are nice, mark free, examples with a great look.

    Congrats!

    Maybe I need to hire you to work on my type set. You seem to be getting more accomplished than I am. image

    Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good...

    Better yet, being at the right place at the right time in the right frame of mind!

    I couldn't pass on such a sweet circulated piece last night. My guess is a pristine VF-25 for the grade.

    Eye appeal to me? Well, let's just say she puts a smile on my face every time I look at her.

    I wouldn't call her completely problem free...

    But if you don't use too much magnification, she looks pretty darn sweet.

    It's definitely not the best grade, but...

    I never stop loving to take a repeat look at this little coin!

    It surely is madness! image

    Nice CircCam, VF20-25, IMO, no distractions, nice look. What's not to like? image

    Looks like there's a teeny-tiny rim cut @ 10:00 on the reverse, which bothers me not in the least.

    Nice little coin!

    The same could be said for 2:50 on obverse!

    With such small physical dimensions, this is also where good photography can make the experience of viewing the coin more pleasurable in an image than actually holding it in hand...
