How rare is the 1872-S seated quarter reverse of 1871-S?

I have been trying to research this on the net but have had no luck.

There are alot of smart seated liberty people here so I thought this would be the place to ask.

So how many of these exist compared to the regular reverse???

The 1872-s quarter is a rare date/mm in itself. I do not know which reverse is rarer.

Well all I know is I've read that the 71-S reverse is the rarest one.

My PCGS VF-25 1872-S quarter is the normal 72-S reverse variety and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to try and have one of each.

By all means, grab all the 72-S quarters in holders you can find. I wouldn't worry too much about the variety, and 99% of the buyers won't either.

What he said. A very difficult coin to find, and a coin that seems to always be in demand, despite the high price.

Every one of these I have sold is now in a profit situation for the buyer.

Edit to add: Ebaybuyer, that is a super-nice coin you sold. Way better than usual surfaces found on 1872-S quarters!

The coin pictured looks like a very nice VF coin, I'm sure you were proud to own her.

Good luck finding the other variety. I have yet to see one available for sale. Ebaybuyer, that is a sweet coin, love to find one. I would settle for a G graded coin even.

I thought I once owned a rev. of 1871-s, which I sold. However, I went back and looked at the photos, and it seems that it was misattributed on another board. So far, nobody here has a photo of one to share, so they must be quite a find.

id consider any raw pieces that anyone has to sell

This date is one of the last 5 I need to finish my quarter set, if available, I would buy it.
