Bust Quarter newp

Go to latest post below to see CAC's decision on this coin.



Best, SH



Picked this up off of ebay, strong cartwheel luster when rotating under the light. Not great images (probably scans) from vendor but took the risk. Paid off I think. Off to CAC next.

    Well done, I love 28s, they are a great date in the bust quarter set.



    But don't take my word for it, I've never met a bust quarter I didn't like.



    It's an illness.

    I tend to agree, I'd put it in the 40 or 45 range.

    Lots of meat on that coin

    Yes I would have given it a XF40 anyway.

    Thanks folks.



    By PCGS photograde standards, the wear is definitely 40-45. I figured it would come in dull and hairlined and why it was at 35, but neither. I compared it to my large BQ P45's in other dates (n=4), and it compares well, in the middle of the pack in terms of wear, luster, and surfaces. So that is why it is off to CAC - if there is some hidden problem that the best can spot, I will find out this way.



    It is the most common die variety of the 28's, I hope someday to get a rarer 28 DV, yes BQ's are an illness for sure, but a good one.

    I happen to own a number of VF-35 bust quarters. For some reason, PCGS seems to be a bit tight on grades vf-30-xf-45. Yours is nicer than most 35s that I have seen and, from the pics, looks choice. The reverse certainly looks xf and the obverse only shows vf from 7 O'clock to 1 O'clock. Congrats! I'm inclined to call it a 40.

    That's a beauty alright! I am not surprised CAC thought the same.

    I am a PCGS CAC man, and I think your coin certainly deserved the green bean. The gold bean is something that only CAC seems to understand well. I like your coin a lot.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
