How do you know that it is a Bust Quarter? I don't see anything other than a blank planchet.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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 ... ?

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? As Mom used to say, "It could always be worse!" Pete

I agree. A capped bust, 1830's.
What's the diameter?
