1805 Quarter, your thoughts please!

[Coindude]

Thoughts, grade, originality.... give it to me all!!

[Coindude]

Also if you don't mind the B number would be helpful. If it helps, there is a die crack on the reverse that extends from the left wing tip up through the S of States, and goes to the rim about 1/3 the way through the T in States.

Don't know the Breen number but I like it. The obv looks close to VF and the rev, thogh not well struck up should make VG10. I'd grade her F15.

 

Nice and crusty!

It definatly has an original look to it. However the the darkest areas bother me, possible enviromental damage?

[James_OldeTowne]

This is Browning-2, so the obverse rim weakness is to be expected, especially at "E" in LIBERTY. This was the second use of the obverse die, and it was getting worn down by this time.

 

I grade this VG-10, and think the original surface quality is terrific! It needs a bit more rim to achieve a grade of "Fine" or better.

This is in an Older ANACS slab. Great job by everyone on their guesses. It's hard to tell on this one, I'm considering crossing over, but there are some very old scratches, very old! It's graded as F12.

F12 was my first instinct. I'd attempt the cross.

[Dudley the 1st]

I don't see why it would not get a bump, but is it feasible financially ? I'd call it a F-15 .

[relicsncoins]

Unless it's for a registry set, I don't think it needs to be in another holder. The old smaller ANACS holders seem to hold their own just fine.

It has Fine grade sharpness, but the toning may have gone too far. I am not a fan of black toned silver. I'd have to see it in person to decide.

[Coindude]

Bill, the toning is very dark. Navy blue in the fields, quite iridescent.

[BillJones]

I'm more concerned about the toning around the devices which seems to be darker. If it has worked its way into the surface, that can be a negative, even in the Fine grade.
