The quarters brought good money tonight on Great Collections! I'm thinking the seller is very satisfied.
I am with you Jed. I was trying to stay on top of 7 different coins but was underbidder. The NGC AU-58 1906-O has a CoinFacts valuation (covering PCGS coins only) for $350. I bid $380 (not including BP) and got outbid at $382.
That is just one of many examples.

Here's my PCGS AU 58 1906 O Quarter. I purchased it in a NGC MS 62 holder in 2016 for $405. I cracked it out and submitted it raw to our hosts.
For a few years I was very good at finding coins in 61- 62 holders and getting them into 58 holders. My good fortune is gone, however. Perhaps the next time I try it I should take a rasp to the cheek to assure there's sufficient luster break.

"rasp to the cheek"
sacrilegious... hitting the beautiful girl Liberty just to get what you want!

A couple nice Newps: 1909 Half in MS-66 CAC with great original luster, and a bit of gold around the rims, and the 1896 Quarter in MS-66 CAC. The quarter I am loving, super PQ for grade and likely an upgrade candidate...someday.

Any of you other collectors out there have either a 92S or 95P dime in low grade? Say AG/G+?? They are the final two holes in my low grade album.
Apologies Jason, I don't have either of those.

Tim- a rare coin indeed. If it were a Standing Liberty or Washington Quarter, it would be worth a fortune. As a Barber Quarter variety, it seems to go unnoticed. Too bad. Congrats on finding nice examples!

Here's a Barber Quarter that showed up in the mail yesterday back from the grading room. I purchased it at FUN in January in a PCI MS 62 holder. It's a Type I Reverse (scarcer) and I thought it had a decent look:
Who says all coins in PCI slabs are bad?
I like it.
You just proved that PCI has stricter grading standards than PCGS.
@erwindoc PCGS calls it as XF-40 Tim @sedulous you know that grade very well, and you're right about the images. It'll be a bit of a surprise when it arrives to see how well they show how it looks in hand.
A few coins came back from the grading room on Saturday. I took a few photos yesterday. Below is a 1912 S Quarter I purchased raw back in March. Time to GUESS The GRADE!!!

I have #2 at VF 20, Yours looks better, so I'd go 40

Another humble low-grade newp with a slight edge roughness. However, a centered S '97-S...

Nice find! By the pics I'd guess it came from Wahoo NE.

Amazing quality Eldo. Very impressive! The gentle rim color on the '96 with flashiness to boot sure draws attention!

Here is the ex-Brian Greer specimen I have... I previously sold my NGC VG08 to one of our Hayes thread cohorts to help his collection.
EDIT: Looks like I never re-imaged the Greer specimen.

I like the center mint mark example that came from you Tim:
Common date specimen that I recently acquired from GC auction:
I saw this common date at heritage a couple weeks ago and just really liked the look. I couldn't resist.
Justin - I can see why you couldn't resist.
Here's one I added from my friend Jim, PC45:

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
This tough quarter passed through here a short while ago. PCGS XF-40. Thanks for the pix, Vern!
A very tough piece.

I like it.

XF '09-O's... here is another. Tough is right!

Here's one that's sort of tough in higher AU grades:
I purchased this one raw a few years back. It has nice color.
Wow Jeff, looks great

That is a tough quarter, Jeff! Very nice.

A very tough piece.
Agreed, very tough.
My best, bought at the ANA in 2002, is a raw 55

From Darrell Kreis. A truly magnificent AU
More '09-O's in XF. Photo courtesy of Heritage:
I wonder where this coin is today.

Happy July 4th!
Here is my 1909-o.....
Happy 4th to my Barber friends:
Always a pleasure to see your high quality pieces, Eldorado!
Here's one that passed through that I like, NGC 64+
Here are a couple I can afford. Lol

that is really a gorgeous piece! 95-o too! Not easy to find!
@jesbroken If you can find the S-Mint, that would be a nice challenge for you. The '08-P has an under-the-radar hidden value to it as well.

Another common one I'm waiting to arrive:
Gorgeous. Needs improved images though. Seller's pics seem a little cloudy.

What did PCGS say it was graded? Im looking at it, trying to make up my own mind.
Ii would call it XF40... once in a while I have seen something like that overgraded in a XF45 holder.

Thanks! I was on the fence about it. Clearly XF detail but with the headband weakness I wasnt sure.
Here is one of my 1902-P quarters:

Note the date placement in comparison with the dentils between the NGC VF20 vs. both XF40's. There is a difference.
Here is another '02-P I like:

Look at the UNUM ribbon. Do you agree there is a mint-made filled end-of-ribbon blob there near the lettering?
