My lastest bust quarter purchase

Got this from one of the members here on the PCGS boards. Really a special coin if you like this kind of toning. What the TV and my images don't show is the booming luster when rotating under the light.
Feel free to post your eye appealing quarters here, let's have a great quarter thread.

Pretty! Nice pickup.
BHNC #248 … 140 and counting.
Great to see you posting again, space, and with a fantastic NEWP too.
You own some of the nicest bust quarters around, so I’m not going to clutter up your thread with my dreck.
Here's one freshly graded VF30. Interesting die break by the date. Can any of you Bust Quarter guys identify the Browning number?
Beautiful bust quarter @spacehayduke —here’s the only one I own, an AU50:
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Here is my best 1832. 1832's are very hard to find and I really like yours. This one is in a Fatty and I won't break it out of that holder:
Pretty coin, rich in patina as a 30 should be. It is a B-4 and carries an R4 rarity (~120-160 extant). Tough coin to find for sure.
Best, SH
B, that is the nicest 25/50 I have ever seen, wow!
Best, SH
That’s a lovely Bustie, SHD!
Like this group!
Nice addition @spacehayduke, and I'm glad to see you're still around the neighborhood!
You may remember that I like the variety of the piece you have posted, Browning-4, and worked for a while on a grading set for that variety. You've got the early die state without the bisecting obverse crack, so I'll post one with a late die state. This is one I bought from the Jules Reiver sale and crossed to PCGS. Thanks for posting!

Love it @1TwoBits! Gorgeous LDS, great patina! This is something that is really great about the Small CBQ's, many die states and love to see their progressions.
Best, SH
Love the coin, and welcome back!
Some vandal happened to damage this one.

Don't say it's your lastest - you can still buy more!
I love to see a bust quarter thread. SHD, that coin is beautiful.
Here is my only small size quarter currently.
Great quarters in this thread, here’s one of mine

If I were describing that coin to a client, I’d include the “L” (love) word. And I rarely do that.

I;m looking for an 1838 quarter…any leads would be appreciated. Looking for lower grade coin…
Larry I remember when you bought that one, it's a great coin, as are all of the others posted, great coins folks!!!

Gorgeous jom, BTW FWIW, jom is one of the 2 or 3 guys who inspired me to search for colorful toning on circulated grades of bust quarters, dude's got game!
Yeah, brilliant move on my part. Now I have steep competition. Which aggravates me to no end. I shake my fist in your general direction!

Love all the quarters on this thread. Here’s my current 1837. Got this one raw on eBay. XF45 CAC.
Really like the reverse.
This one is truly love at first sight! AU-58
got the coin in a NGC holder, then crossed to a PCGS holder than got it CAC'd
@jom can do that to you @spacehayduke. I bought this one from him in 2012, PCGS VF35 B-10 VLDS. Its hard to see the crack from Rim-U-Left wing with the toning, but its much easier to see the crack going from the left side of the eagle's body horizontally through the shield to the right wing where it then goes to the R and to the rim, love it.

Great CBQ's @EastonCollection and @1TwoBits!
Best, SH
Here’s my one and only Bust Quarter. I bought it as a 64, and when it arrived, it was even nicer in hand than the photo, so I sent it back to PCGS for Reconsideration. Sure enough, they agreed, and despite the booger coming out of Liberty’s nose, they added a plus! Nice bump in value too.

HEY
You can't have that coin.......it's not "blast white" !!!!!

True, and while our late friend @ricko never gave this coin his coveted “Blast White Sticker”, you have to admit it’s pretty “light”, with not a lot of toning, for a 185 year old silver coin!

Got to admit - all these quarters are really nice and quite impressive. I really love the large size and I think its one of the toughest series to collect and put a set together. I have been doing this series for over 25 years and I am still going! One reason why this series is so tough is when there is a nice CBQ, we hold on to them for so long. In many cases over 20 years. That turnover doesn't allow collectors to put a set together. This is true for all grades.
Just goes to show that a coin does not need to be uncirculated to be just as pretty.
Nice coins here guys.

Barbers, Seated Liberty and Standing LIberty quarters - I consider them modern.....LOL
Would like to see more Bust Capped Quarters.
