Opinion of grade for an 1824 bust 25c.....

Recently acquired...

Sometimes these bust quarters look the same to me from Good to Fine. Can't really differentiate between them.

I'm thinking VG10 for this one.

    I like the coin and I agree, the reverse of this coin is a little more worn in an 8, I like it as a 10

    That's a beautiful 1824. I would call it a solid VG, although I will note that I see what could be tooling in both the left and right obverse fields. I see some pock marks in an area of lighter toning, as if someone tried to foolishly smooth the marks. My favorite date, nonetheless, and any 1824 is a coin to consider owning if the price is right.

    Nice piece...tougher date. I'd say VG8...L

    A very solid 8...no question about it. I have a PCGS of the same coin in the same grade...looks similar.
    If you catch PCGS on a good day you could get a 10.
    Oh by the way...fantastic coin, great buy.

    VG8 would be my guess.

    I have to go along with the concensus...VG-8. A nice worn example that did it's duty in the channels of commerce.

    Most likely there were only 16,000 Bust Quarters struck dated 1824 (all delivered by the coiner on December 31st, 1823, warrant #935), causing the scarcity of this date.

    Got to love them 1824's, enjoy the coin! image

    I grade it G6, maybe VG8. Great date and a really nice example!

    At first I thought Good-6. But then I looked at the ANA photo grade guide and matched it up with the VG-8. So VG-8 it is. It has a lot of wear, but it's also quite smooth.
