In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    "How do you know that it is a Bust Quarter? I don't see anything other than a blank planchet."

    I had the same thought myself at first, but after further study I can see the faint outline of the truncation of the bust, the vertical neck, and the chin in the obverse image. The obverse image appears to be rotated slightly (~45º) clockwise.

    I agree. A capped bust, 1830's.

    What's the diameter?

    If I had one and could post it here, I'd post a slick that had been holded and bent AND AT'ed! That would be lower, or can you go lower than basal?

    Put that bust quarter in your pocket for a week, and it will become a "lower grade" bust quarter.
