Just bought this as an upgrade for my VG8. It's not in hand yet but I thought I'd post the Trueview. Nice original coin graded VF25. I can see this in a 30 holder someday.
I have this in hand now. The Trueview is pretty much spot on. Choice original gray coin. Now I have to upgrade my 70-cc G6 and 71-cc VF details. I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Even if I had the funds, the coins are almost nonexistent.

Fresh TrueView of an 1875 Philly 20c I acquired back in April. It’s richly and fully toned over otherwise clean surfaces. MS64 holder.
Mintage only 38,500 (!), a small fraction of the 1.15m made in SF. The P issue is much more scarce, but only ~10% more in price in this grade.

All of the coins have a lot of eye appeal! Nice type set!
Thanks for the compliment. It was a lot of fun putting the set together. The “no drapery” ones are ridiculously hard to find with anything resembling good eye appeal.

I just got this PCGS XF40 to replace a VF details (cleaned). I don't have it in hand yet but it seems like a nice original coin. I would grade it VF35 but I only paid high VF money for it, so all good.
Nice example as the rarest "S" Seated Quarter to find in any grade.

Nice original coins! I noticed that sometimes your keys are even higher grades than the semi-keys. I think that's the smart way to go.
Thanks, I'm just trying to find original (or close to it) coins and buy them as they pop up. Ultimately, I'd like the set to be VF-XF. An original VF will be in the set before a marginal XF.

A beautiful Type coin. For an XF, I believe this is just about the perfect look!

Here's an 1843 WB27 ANACS EF45 - lesser quality, IMO, though a nice strike, with toning notably darker golden brown than the golden green toning your coin has.

The 1879 to 1890 P-mint business strike quarters are supposedly available in MS grades, but try getting your hands on them these days. I do remember a time when you could basically just buy them if you had the money, but no more. I finally decided to collect the whole run in PCGS MS63 or higher back in 2017. It took me forever to find an 1882 that I liked. The 1882 was the final piece of the puzzle, and it's PCGS MS67 OGH. My intention was to get the whole run in lightly toned/brilliant condition, but I compromised on the 1881 because a lovely toned MS65 came along at a good price. The 1886 is definitely the toughest coin in the run, followed by the 1882-1885 dates in some order.
...and here's a common 1891 just for good measure.
Whoever was in charge of making the dies for the proof 25c coins in 1890 hopefully got a promotion. There are more killer DCAMs for this date than any other.
It's been a challenging year so far for me, but this 1855/54 in F12 for $79 BIN puts me in a better mood.

I thought it would be fun to 'fess up and admit that this coin fooled me. I posted this before I had seen the coin in-hand. It is NOT a 55/54, just a normal 1855. This is the second time I've been fooled by a 55 normal date from a photo. My thanks and apologies to the eleven members who put faith in me and liked the post.

Lovely toning and originality! Very rare this fine. One of the top 10 at PCGS!

A few from my latest reholder with trueview sub.
Upgrade to replace my other 76-cc rev 73. Not an ideal coin, but better than the one I replaced.
4/0 for chopped 78-S, 1/0 for chopped 78-S with the DDR (which is being attributed now)

Nice looking coin, I like the die cracks.
Shiny things distract me.
@Barberian Your '43 has a lot going for it! Very sweet, thanks for sharing.

More newly scanned coins.
46-O WB13 (R3) medium date -
1862-S WB2 (R5) -
1871 WB8 (R3) - nice coin but possibly with questionable toning
1871-CC G06 - cheap 15 years ago, now worth $1250 (CP)! Over 2X auction prices?
XF40's from my latest submission, which are upgrades for my set.
VF35's, all upgrades for my set. Not sure why the 56 wasn't a 40. A little too much wear on the obv I guess.
Great looking coins Manifest, keep them coming!
Doug
A recent addition.
Thanks, I love your 70-cc! I hope I can find a nice mid grade sometime to replace my G6. Don
Thanks Don. An 1870-CC quarter in any grade is a prize!

@rhedden, all I can say is WOW! Those quarters are extraordinary.
Upgrade -VF35. For those of you who understand the quarter series, you know how hard the 40's philly issues are.
Upgrade for what was the lowest graded coin in my set, which was AG3. - This is a PCGS XF40.
The 72-s I posted above has now been reholdered with trueview.
Just got this as an upgrade. It will get reholdered with trueview. I couldn't care less about the bean. Maybe I'll get it griffed, lol.
Great looking quarter, @Manifest_Destiny, even without a TrueView!
