    I concur Idhair, VERY nice for the grade! I really like the look of your new bust quarter. It's the Browning - 2 variety, which has short arrowheads. The Browning - 1 variety has long arrowheads. Nice pick up.

    Very nice, I could see it a grade higher.

    How is the luster?

    Very nice coin, but I have to mention something.

    Doesn't anyone see the slight diagonal hairlining in the coin?

    From 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock., both sides of the coin.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking if someone posted this coin raw, there would be more negative posts than just mine.

    Really DE59?
    I think you and boyer need some kind of eye correction, can you both point out what you are talking about?

    I can't see it but either way it's ok. It's only a 45.

    Sorry for offending you.

    You'd think by your reaction that I criticised the OP's first born.

    No harm intended, I'm just stating my non-expert opinion as I do see a faint 'parallel' pattern of marks.

    I'll make sure Raybo if I ever comment on your coin(s) I will limit it to positive responses only.

    Completely agree.

    All that does is tell you which direction the light is coming from. A 45 has surfaces scratches, light picks up the scratches in one direction depending on where the light is placed. I have viewed this quarter in hand, it was mine before Larry bought it through a dealer. It does not have a classic surface wipe that leaves parallel hairlines - the scratches are instead random directions and typical of a coin that has seen circulation. It is a gorgeous quarter and CAC beaned it because they think it has not been messed with and it is strong for the grade. I sold it at FUN because I got it in a set and I already had one of comparable quality and did not need the dupe. I knew the dealer I sold it to sold it pdq at FUN, but did not know it was Larry who bought it.

    Nice coin...I owned it for 3 years and any hairlines were from circulation as I recall. It's pretty much what spacehayduke mentioned.

    I hope not - the dealer didn't buy it from me at that level :D
