And it sold for $301. Go figure out this no reserve hype creating lunacy. Who are these collectors? Would you pay even $150?

People like to buy plastic rather than the coin.
I'm guessing this was sold to someone who only cares about the number on the label. I wouldn't spend $30 on it let alone $300.

Sorry, not my type of coin. Some people just have money to burn. Maybe they think that they can break it out, clean it up, and get a higher grade. Could have been shilled up also. I will save my money for a better example.
This coin previously sold on DLRC and Stack's.
Here are the Stack's photos:
Interesting history you found. Surprised it even sold for $228.

I thought you guys liked original toned coins.

No.
I wonder if ricko would buy it.

Well, the short answer is no.
The long answer is Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

How many bidders? Might have been just two people who need new glasses.

Still laughing.... No, that quarter will not find refuge within my collection. Cheers, RickO
Plastic collector? I've heard more than a few times: "I need a [insert coin here] in MS63" while a big show.

Would you buy this coin?
Yes, every coin has its price.
Would you pay even $150?
No, that's not its price.

I've seen worse.
Relatively common so probably not. If it had a mintmark maybe.
Lets see, original check, decent strike for a type 2 check, not a typical dishhead check. Yes I would buy that coin at the right price, however my right price is less than the price it sold for.

Yeah, when they aren’t ugly
I don't like it, but there are some people who like this sort of crusty look, especially when the luster is decent. It's a good thing too, otherwise it would drag the perceived value of coins in this grade down even further. I'm guessing it looks a little better in-hand (trying to find something nice to say).

No.
Would I keep it if I found it on the ground or in a junk box for a junk box price? Sure
Would I pay that price in the OP's post for it based on the images? Oh hell no.

The answer for 2 people, at least, is yes.
Lot of coin shaming going on today.
I hate your entire collection.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.
It could use conservation. But that should be taken into account when bidding.
Collector, occasional seller
Dark, splotchy toning like that is a poor candidate for conservation. Add in the cost of conservation and it is even worse.
It is a coin to avoid.
