I purchased this 1828 B-2 Bust quarter raw. Our host graded it F12. Now the value added (from a bean) pales in comparison to the two beautiful Morgan dollars in the other thread. Is it worth the trip?

Is the color in your images representative of the coin’s true appearance?

Yes...
Taken with my cellphone. I personally think its aesthetically pleasing. My initial grading instinct was VG10. It's nice to cherry pick a tougher variety occasionally.
Thank you. My guess is that the coin won’t sticker, due to obverse marks and the color. I’d be glad to be wrong.

While I like the coin, my guess is it’s not worth the trip.

I don’t think it will sticker.
The color is dark but doesn’t look natural to my eyes.
Also, I don’t think it’s details are particularly strong for the grade.

Thanks guys...
I'll probably skip the trip to New Jersey. Still a neat addition to my collector grade bust quarter set.

I really like your bust quarter but don't think it will CAC. I have no problem with it as a 12 but don't see it as a solid Fine.
I'm hoping it's a bad picture. It almost looks tooled
I like the look too and I think if it did not sticker it would only be because they also thought it should be VG10. Bit of a slider between grades. Nice find though!
At least on my screen, the coin looks pinkish orange. Are you sure the lighting is not giving it that color?
Are these a bit better photos? They're still done with my cellphone camera.
Agreed.
The dark outline around the bust or something else? I think the bust is just surrounded by dirt and/or showing a bit of a shadow from a light at 2:00.

My best guess when you get it back.
I finally got around to submitting some coins to CAC thanks to DKRC
After all the comments about the difference between my earlier and later images, I realizedI have a new cell phone! With a better camera!
The color looks totally different in this image.
Congratulations on the sticker!

Your last picture with the sticker looks completely different than the first two sets of pictures.
I'm guessing yes.
Based on really bad photos

The first two photos made this bust quarter look previously overdipped and then retoned to a typical ugly brown color. The last photo did look different color-wise. Based on the first two photos I would have agreed that it should not have stickered. The last CAC photo made it look better but still not excited about this quarter, although I admit they are very hard to find nice.
I really appreciate all the feedback! My photography skills need an upgrade. It probably had an acetone bath before I purchased it raw.
Congrats on the sticker
If you're using an iPhone, the little flower button in the bottom left should be turned off, then use optical zoom to focus. The phone will adjust the settings when it's in an automatic mode, but the color in the first two pics looks like a different coin than the last one. congrats anyway, bust qs are a tough series.
