The 1817 O.105a always comes with a mushy obv strike and should be graded by the rev. Your example looks to be at least a 50, maybe higher, depending on how much actual luster remains.
Below are two more XF’s from Coin Facts. The top pic is a 45 and the bottom is a 40. Your 40 is clearly undergraded based on these pics.

I think you can find a nicer quarter. I’ll go ahead and get you out of your new purchase. 😆
Sure! Just be ready for a BIG premium
I been around this stuff for a while. I’m a big boy. Bring it on. If you’re crazy keep it ha
First capped bust quarter I’ve bought. The more I look at it the better I like it.
I’m probably crazy. My mom was yelling when she found out how much I paid for it
I had a similar experience.
The 1976 Penn/Ohio coin show was in Cincinnati, my first big show! I had decided to buy a proof Buffalo for my type set. Being unsuccessful I decided to find a CBH. After looking at a few AU/Unc coins I asked my boss at the coin shop for his advice on which coin I found was best. He looked at my choices, mostly white coins in the 1830’s and then led me to a table that had an “AU” 1815. He talked me into purchasing that coin. It is really a choice XF. I used my entire budget for the show on that one coin. When I arrived home my dad asked what I had purchased. I showed him and mom my new half dollar. I was asked how much I paid, $750 was the response. I had just obtained my drivers license a couple months before and had just paid $750 for my first 🚙. Imagine the discussion that followed!
All ended well. I still have the coin. The car is long gone. I make my living buying and selling coins. As the song says, “life’s been good to me so far…”
Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
I see @lkeigwin has been busy, again. I got my catalogue for Sheridan Downey's next auction in the mail yesterday.
Lot 93....1827 O-144 R-5+ PCGS AU 58. No, I won't be bidding. At least on this one.
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

YW!
Nice group too, I especially like how the half quarter and dime reverses pair up
How about I throw in one ... a crusty '35 I got from a friend back in October

Yeah. The H10 doesn't have the circ cam look the other 3 have. That might be my next mission. Nice half BTW.

Thanks, Todd!
And with regards to YOUR 1824 O.106…I still wish I owned it.
But I’m happy it’s gone to a good friend’s home.
I wish I owned an 1812 single leaf….perhaps one day.
Got crack anyone?
Dave
Just one handy……

Those old quarters are tough. Especially if they are problem free and original. As yours looks to be.
Those are some terrific single leaves Dave.
Of course Don, your amazing proofs of all eras are always so stunning.
Not as nice as yours or BustDM's, but I like them.
Of course, for the "Crack is Wack" crowd...there's this 1810 101 Prime
crack, crack ... did someone say crack ...
Oh, those are some great ones!!
Glad I got this up on page one again tonight ... thanks for sharing some great examples.
