  You may be able to find one for a little bit lower, but it'll probably still cost you over $100. This date takes a big jump in price at F12 where you'll spend $350-$450 for one. The Price Guide is way low on the 1909-O quarter on grades F12 and above.

  Thanks. I have made a few calls and I am waiting for a few dealers to get back to me.

  I would not pay a dime more than $127.50 for it.

  I sold this one to a forum member/dealer last ~December for pretty close to my asking price:
  
  Another 09-O, Fine, nearly full Liberty, E is weak and part of R is missing, strong dentils, some design weakness elsewhere,
  perfect circ look - $180 (More 'meat' would run you >2X this price). SOLD

  Is one in PCGS F-15 worth 465$ or is that way to much?

  This date readily exists in VG and even fine. With a mintage of 700K it has always had followers.
  Prying them from the hands is another matter.
  Up until a couple of years ago this was a 90-125 coin in fine so it was easy to sock away and forget about.
  Big hoard got broken up selling for 300 in VF around 2008.
  The way it's struck, much of LIBERTY remains on even worn coins, so VG is out there. Probably in large numbers. Pay what it takes, but the reality is, the date sustains it's reputation due to it's condition rarity in XF and AU.

  We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.

  I guess I really can't say if $465 is way too much for a PCGS F15 or not.....it's not worth that much to ME, but I don't need one for my set.
  I think that if the coin is really a VF coin that got stuck in a F15 holder, then it may be a fair price. I would recommend researching auction records to see where similar coins have sold.
  To dogwood's point - I agree, I see VG's around, and had 3 in stock at one time last year, but have none now. But higher grades get progessively more elusive, to the point where I think they are downright rare in XF - AU. The coin is really not a sleeper, as I think most are aware of its scarcity and that it trades for well above sheet prices, especially at the higher grade levels, so I think the odds of 'picking one off' at auction or via a sheet dealer are pretty slim.

  You've probably seen this one
  
  This is FYI for you as an example. I am not connected to this sale in any way.

  This coin is not rare, but at full, problem-free F12 or higher the extant population drops quite a bit. Of course, there are some coins available, but they are generally held pretty tightly. I handled a PCGS F15 and PCGS VF25 in 2011 though I do not expect to have two mid-grade pieces every year.
