1819 25C Opinions/Grades? Re-punched '5'?

Might be difficult to tell - this is the first one I have owned so I have no idea how they look. It has some old scratches I have tried to capture in the pictures. It also has a re-punched '5' and looks like an extra '.' above the '.' after the '5' Is this worth submitting?

Looks like a B-3 R-1 from the pictures. This is the most common die marriage for 1819.

"Is it worth submitting?" I guess that is a decision you will have to make. It's fairly common and low grade. The repunched 5 is is cool, but not rare. I would just find one already in a PCGS holder. Unless your going to send a batch of coins in anyway I would just keep it as is.

I couldn't get a decent shot on the 25 C and the rest. Honestly I was more concerned about the scratches on the neck and if that would keep it from getting a grade. I will try to take a better picture - my 'good' camera died and I am using a 'Free Camera with new checking account' camera...

I want to put this in my type set - the seller believes it would grade and be worth a bunch. I thought $125 was in the ballpark - guessing it is F-10. I don't deal in coins - so I was guessing (and using the Red Book as a guide). This is my second go at a type set and bought several whizzed, cleaned, dipped etc. coins the first go around. Hope the new pic helps...

After reading these threads over the last year I have decided I could give a brief of description and a pic of the rim and have someone give me the die marriage, rarity and the last time a similar one sold at Heritage. It is the only reason I have decided to try the type set again...

Are those scratches on the obverse? If they are, no grade. If not, it may certify, but no guarantees. The toning is strange.

Repunched 5 is VERY normal...if that can even exist...I guess if something is normal...it can't really be VERY normal. Either it's normal or it's not. I guess it's like saying very unique, but you get the point.

Agree, the scratches will keep it from being graded at PCGS. Still not a bad looking bust quarter.
