I got blown out of the water on this 1825 Quarter

I guess this cud is rarer than I thought. I was going to buy it because I thought it was cool, but got absolutely blown away by the bidding.

    Nice coin.

    That's actually a "retained cud".

    You're not alone. I suspected it would go in the $800 (+/- $100) range, but not $1100+.
    I lobbed in with a measly $500-ish bid just for giggles.

    The bidder who won this coin also won the AG-looking 1822 Dime for $835!

    The prices for these two coins bodes very well from where I'm sitting, since I have a higher grade version of
    each of the above coins. I cherried my 1825 Quarter Cud, and spent only slightly more for my 1822 Dime in Fine image


    FYI - Quarternut (Steve T.) had listed about a month or so ago another 1825 Quarter with Cud, similar grade, for a BIN of around $600!

    And yet it is still a Cud!

    For the Classic Coin market in general I think!

    I was really surprised on the hammer price of the Cud...and you cherried one, Stone?? You lucky dog!

    I too was surprised on the 1825 hammer price. I was shocked with the last-second bid.
    Yes, 2 or 3 years ago during the Phoenix ANA I cherried one image

    That was a B-2 with the retained cud at the arrowheads. The retained cud at UNITED on the B-3 is slightly more rare in my opinion, however I was also surprised at the price, and I know the high bidder!

    Maybe I priced the one I sold a bit too low, it certainly sold quickly...image

    Rich Uhrich has an 1825 B-2 with the retained cud in G-6 for sale at $1750! image

    Ahhh, that's right. I knew that I was considering buying it, but it's sort of difficult to justify buying a dublicate
  • I was the under bidder on that coin and lost the blasted thing. It was pricey and i was having a hard time after $1000.

    Honestly I would have been suprised to see it sell for less than $1000.

    That is not what he has listed...in fact he states the exact opposite of what I stated above, as to the rarity of each. Here is what he has listed on his site:



    << <i>1825/3 Quarter B-2 R-2, Good-6, with an intermediate die state of the cud at the arrows on the reverse. Also has a long pinscratch on reverse. I used to think that the B-2 cud and the B-3 cud were equally scarce, but the last three year period has convinced me that the B-2 cud is significantly scarcer. There are a few collectors trying to get every die state of these cuds; if you need this one, get your order in quickly! The last one of these I owned for one hour. NEW $1750 >>

  • I am not sure which is scarcer, but the AU58 on ebay from TNFC is looking better.image
