That's a really nice original coin. I'm surprised that it is only in an AU-50 holder. Most AU graded Reduced Size Quarters don't look any where near as nice as that.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Sweet coin. I wish all AU-50's looked like that.

Yeah, that does look awfully nice for a 50!! There are probably some "AU-62's" that look like that!!

Nope. In all honesty, it has the expected loss of luster for the grade. It was just so superior to all OTHER AU small busts that I snapped it.
There is a lot of luster in protected areas like that hair. Lighting has a lot to do with it, but it is nice for the originality and strike.
And I do like it better than almost all I have seen from 58-62 if only for the dark and dirty original grime. And that album TARNISH turns me on, too.
<< <i>Try putting together a date set (including the large sized capped bust) and I'll be really impressed. >>
I guess so! The large size cappeds do not exist in grades above AG.
Got a decent XF ....draped....though.
I usually stick to gold, but I get gooshy over just about anything busty. (Weaned too soon)
It's a few points better than 50 IMO.
