Here is one I received today. I thought I would share.
Purchased from the BST from member REALGATOR.
A great transaction and a nice coin.
I don't think I have ever posted a "guess the grade" thread before but feel free to give your opinions.

    Great skin on that one. Looks VF35 to me.

    I am not good at grading , but definitely higher than it is graded (Sorry , I peaked on the BST but wont spoil it by saying).

    VF35?

    Regardless, I love the look of it. Great coin.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    My first thought was around AU50 because of how original the surfaces are, but probably XF40 or so.
  • USMoneyloverUSMoneylover Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭
    Great looking quarter, I'll guess XF40

    I saw the grade, so I won't guess. But it is an awesome coin. Nice pick up! image
  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,927 ✭✭✭✭✭
    First guess was VF35. Could be VF30.
  • BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,523 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like it. Appears to have wholesome surfaces. I've been looking at a lot of small size bust quarters lately, nearly all of them in the XF40 to XF45 range. This one falls short of that level, looks to be about a 30 to me. Images are well done

    Should be a 40, as there is no luster apparent for a 45. It has too much detail for a 30 or 35 in my opinion, especially in the wing feathers (but what do I know...image )

    Nice circulated example! image

    Nice and crusty! Looks like a Three-Five to me.

    I am just going to say that it is a nice quarter and has a hint of luster visible on the obverse, yes nice.
  • sniocsusniocsu Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭
    Great coin with excellent eye appeal. High VF to low XF IMO
  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 25,087 ✭✭✭✭✭
    VF30, nice original surfaces. Too much wear to merit a 40.

    Looks a very attractive 35 to me. Nice coin!
  • FlatwoodsFlatwoods Posts: 4,270 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks everyone. It is in a 30 holder.
    My first impression was 35 but that wasn't my intent for posting.
    It is a nice VF coin from a smooth BST transaction. I couldn't ask for more.
  • NumisOxideNumisOxide Posts: 11,029 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Ill go with VF35. Nice
  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Really nice album coin..... VF30.... Cheers, RickO

    That's how old silver is 'sposed to look. 35?
  • mirabelamirabela Posts: 5,190 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice.

    And I agree, despite the dirt that has surfaced there occasionally, I've found the BST to be a great resource over the years both as a buyer and as a seller. It's a small marketplace, with both the advantages and the disadvantages that come with that. Overall, though, my dealings there have been smooth and the other parties courteous and reliable.
