BUST QUARTER THREAD, post 'em if you got 'em!

I recently got this coin on ebay for a VERY reasonable price. I feel it is quite strong for the grade, PCGS XF40. If memory serves, it is the B-5 (common), but check out the originality and eye appeal! I personally love the look of it. I am also elated at the late die state of both sides, the obverse has a crack through her head and another at the front of the bust, the reverse has a fantastic retained cud around "CA."
Post any bust quarters you might have! Especially anything with a retained cud. Correction...LAMINATION!

Just the one to pick from in the collection.

Shoot QuarterNut an email/PM since his book doesn't list this coin as having a retained cud.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

<< <i>Hey QuarterCollector, what are the grades on those beauties? >>
The 1837 is in PCGS XF45 plastic (undergraded IMHO)
The 1834 is in PCGS XF45 plastic with the CAC bean
The 1831 is in PCGS AU55 plastic with the CAC bean.

I am suprised to not see a fifty on the first one. Hard to tell, but the 34 looks higher end as well. Very nice pieces.

Nice, I saw that one at Northeast...If I didn't already have it, It would have been mine I assure you. A very nice coin for the grade! I have noticed that B-5's get mislabled more often than not. I personally have reholdered two of them, and a third that was a B-6.
Congrats!
but haven't made a new purchase in quite a while
I like that 1804 Billet!

Why resist?....give in to the influence of the quarter!
And I just got back a very pretty XF40 1818 from PCGS that I have yet to image.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Light weight!
VF-25, Variety B-1, R2. The 0 in the date is small on this variety, and on the reverse the 5 in the denomination is merged with the arrowheads.
Hmmm! It's late. I'll try again later. I can do better than this!
