seems like a nice 1821

good clasp, great ear, looks original to me but shame about no eye. What does everyone think? large quarter

Placid · October 31, 2003 2:20AM

Seems reasonable.

few scratches in front of nose.

I do not know this series, but the face seems odd? Is it normal for the entire face to wear away yet still have an eye hole and lips that extend that far? Without knowing much about these, I think it looks like it's been retooled.

Nothing unusual about the wear pattern on this coin; that's typical for them. In fact it seems like a pretty nice example, which is the surprising part, as this seller most often specializes in lightly to moderately cleaned stuff.

nice original looking coin, don't know about the VF part but looks like a solid Fine+ coin

I took the plunge!

Nice!

mintluster · October 31, 2003 7:46AM

Nice!

congrats on filling an increasingly tough type coin, my 1820 is only a VG10, I think your 1821 is an easy F12 in anyone's holder and possibly as high as F15. Let us know how you like it once you get it. BTW 1907 did you ever get that with motto seated dollar you were shopping for??

originalisbest · October 31, 2003 9:14AM

Hope you like it a lot when you get it; from the scan, looks like you did OK. Report back once you have your new two bits in hand!

seated dollar was suspect-I thought it to be retoned. Perfectly happy with my G6! 1871 original!!-for now...
Before purchasing Ernie's coin I had my local dealer check the scan (he's a very conservative grader) and calls it an almost fine but indeed original. I do like the cameo style where the devices are brighter than the field. Alex also pointed out that the darker are on Liberty is a lower part of the coin and really points to the originality. I know I paid a premium but I did not want to get into a possible bidding war. Will report when coin's in hand! Any other cap bust graders out there?

Hey Baley can you scan your 1820 for us?!?

Baley · October 31, 2003 10:28AM

That's it on the upper right:

it's at the bank, but I think I have a better picture, will try to find...

1907Quarter · October 31, 2003 11:04AM

Baley-the pic didn't go through

coinkat · October 31, 2003 11:10AM

I think F12 to F15 is fair and it looks original

Baley · October 31, 2003 11:17AM

try refresh, I think their server is full

anyway, here's a little closer view:

Hopefully, those markings near the nose are just tonong streaks. But a nice early quarter....

couple of people have mentioned the "marks near the nose" which, even if light scratches, do not, to me, seem uncommensurate with a mid-grade circulated coin. If the coin were minted this year, sure, they would be a problem, but on this coin in this grade are probably negligible.

It's an original piece with wear. I like it

(the worn down eye makes it look like an Asian)

roadrunner · November 1, 2003 6:51AM

Ernie's stuff usually looks cleaned. This one looks ok....just hope it's not bent or something.
