    Occasionally you can get a nice Seated at your LCS. Raw in this case and I am a sucker for O-mint. I can forgive the slight rim bump or two.

    1858-O Seated Lib Quarter (Raw)

    1849/6 H10C 9 Over Widely Placed 6 (V-1)

    Nice V-1.
    Strange that they call it "9 Over Widely Placed 6", though.
    I thought that phrase was used for V-2, what I like to call "9 over far 6".

    Enjoying the New Orleans Mint class at the ANA Summer Seminar. A lot of Seated material in show and tell. Craig E.'s portion on 1840-O Half Dollar attribution exercise was very educational! There are 15 WB#'d varieties.

    A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.

    From a Medium Date erroneously labeled as a Large Date to a true Large Date:

    Not only a true Large Date, but the cool late die state V-1a with the die crack through E2 L M2.

    It's a great coin, but it's not FS-302 (V-2); it is a V-1 (also an overdate), as I think you know.

    @yosclimber I attached an information sheet indicating that the 1849 H10C was a 1849/6 V-1, but who knows if the grading / attribution room got it or not.

    Perhaps their attribution room referred to https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1849-6-h10c-9-over-widely-placed/4342/10 and saw the first coin depicted is a V-1 listed as 1849/6 H10C 9 Over Widely Placed 6. Sloping downward date with a faint remnant of the underlying 6. Déjà vu again?

    CAC Grading still has the 1849/8 Over So-Called 8 :(

    GSID Date Variety
    3811 1849/6 Base
    297894 1849/6 Overdate FS-301
    3810 1849/6 9 Over Widely Placed 6
    297896 1849/'8' 9 Over So-Called 8 FS-303

    1853 Quarter with what looks like a massive die break. In the middle of the arc, the metal is raised, while at the ends it is indented. Strange, I have not seen another 1853 quarter with this same crack in any progressive stage.

    Any ideas?

    PMD.

    I appears to be from an impact of a circular object from left to right,
    with metal scraped to the right and raised up on the right edge of the impact.
    If it was a massive die break, it would continue to an edge of the coin, and there would not be an indent on the left side of it.

    Yes, it definitely looks like PMD especially at the top of the arc.

    However, the raised metal is not damage, it was not caused by an object hitting the coin and pushing up the metal. The raised metal was part of the the original strike and you can see it under magnification.
