thanks guys

STONE · September 14, 2012 1:57AM

F-12

ziggy29 · September 14, 2012 1:59AM

I'll go with F-15.

MilkmanDan · September 14, 2012 2:08AM

I think it's VF, let's say VF20.

LindeDad · September 14, 2012 2:13AM

Kove · September 14, 2012 2:14AM

VF 20

Pokermandude · September 14, 2012 2:15AM

F15 was my first thought.

BaseballAbs · September 14, 2012 2:18AM

It does look around 15 to me. I need that coin for my set.

BaseballAbs · September 14, 2012 2:22AM

It is a tough date, I have seen more 52-O's lately more so than the 51-O. I think they are suppose to be pretty close in difficulty.

guitarwes · September 14, 2012 2:24AM

Tough tough coin. F-15

Congrats on the pickup.

BaseballAbs · September 14, 2012 2:44AM

In a PCGS holder conservatively speaking I would say F15 worth about $1500.

crypto79 · September 14, 2012 2:46AM

Just misses vf in my book so f15 but everything you would ever want in the grade. Nice!

abitofthisabitofthat · September 14, 2012 3:24AM

For reference, this 51-O just came back in a 25 holder.

commoncents05 · September 14, 2012 3:29AM

VF20.

F15

rhedden · September 14, 2012 4:21AM

Deliciously original F15. I think it has F15+ obverse details, but enough weakness in the eagle's feathers and enough small ticks to keep it at F15. Love it!

$20 was the cheapest I ever paid for a problem free, orig Fine 1852-0. I don't think I ever owned one after that. First and last.

Wow, can you find me one for that?

Yeah, got a time machine?

Yeah, it's on my wrist.

fastfreddie · September 14, 2012 4:45AM

I'd say 15 at glance but knowing how these wear funny I'll say 20.

Moldnut · September 14, 2012 7:07AM

F15 no matter what TPGs holder says

Billet7 · September 14, 2012 9:13AM

15, maybe 20. It's hard to see how much details it's got in the feathers with the toning, in hand it might look a bit different.

Nice to see some seated quarters posted, keep it up!

Yukoncornelius1 · September 14, 2012 11:01AM

Very nice coin, it should grade F-15.

rhedden · September 14, 2012 11:04AM

$20 was a terribly high cost for an 1852-O quarter.

Um, in the year 1854.

amwldcoin · September 14, 2012 12:18PM

15

<< $20 was a terribly high cost for an 1852-O quarter.

Fortunately, I found mine around 1975. $20 was probably a very high cost for those in the 1960's too.

In checking my March 6th 1974 Coin World Trends, the 1852-0 in Fine had a listed value of $45. The key was finding one. The $45 (or $20) part was easy.
Silver at that time was $5.75/oz and gold $150/oz. But I must admit I got mine by paying 30% over trends for an 1852-P quarter. The seller wasn't particularly
interested in the O mint mark on the reverse.

........I succumbed to greed however and flipped it almost immediately for $200 to Kam Ahwash. Price guides being off
by 5X made finding key date seated coins a fun task. It's taken almost 40 years to get CDN to only be off by 2X to 3X on many key dates.

SamByrd · September 15, 2012 3:29AM

this one is not easy to say. It is no doubt FINE but so close to VF my guess though is fine 15.

Manorcourtman · September 15, 2012 3:31AM

Vbowling299 · September 15, 2012 3:39AM

i would say it gets f15 i dont see why it shouldnt

stealer · September 15, 2012 4:18AM

I really can't grade seated material smaller than halves

Manorcourtman · September 21, 2012 10:12AM

PCGS MS63

PCGS VF35

Moldnut · September 21, 2012 10:27AM

Yes, this date and MM does come weakly struck but I feel you got a bit lucky with the grade too.

Here is another date and MM known for a weak strike. What do you grade this? Pics by TomB

And another.

Manorcourtman · September 21, 2012 10:52AM

Well, I'll call it 30 but I bet it went 15.

Manorcourtman · September 21, 2012 10:57AM

<< Well, I'll call it 30 but I bet it went 15. >>

Or maybe 40

Moldnut · September 21, 2012 11:05AM

Wow, a 40! Ill take that

fastfreddie · September 21, 2012 11:35AM

I don't have Briggs in front of me but recall there was an issue with the collar that made these wear prematurely. Some have strong strikes and other have weak strkes. Mine graded XF40 and would appear to be the same die pair as the MS63 coin and your 25. The 35 is from another die based on mintmark placement.

roadrunner · September 21, 2012 1:07PM

The only high grade ones I've seen personally were always the flat head variety. First one I saw was in NYCity in the 70's or 80's... choice, full luster unc....with a very flat head.
More than likely it's one of the 2 unc coins graded today. I'm surprised the OP's coin came back a VF25. Even more suprised that 55-0 above is an XF40.

Moldnut · September 21, 2012 1:11PM

Sorry Roadrunner, my first 55-O is in a F15 holder.
