My new Bust 25c piece. JUST bought it.

[goose3]

I realize that it is nothing fantastic but I sure find these old pieces appealing even in the lowly grade of G4, such as this one! I love these old pieces!!!!!!

The pic is a bit dark but it looks pretty nice and original.

Looks nice and problem-free. I think that these are a bargain regardless of grade because there is a genuine rarity to them.

The amount of GOODS that that thing bought would STAGGER our imaginations. EARLY US coins are irreplaceable pieces of history. FAR underrated IMO.

At least I like em.

Those sure are some nice pieces in your post!

[Count_Erfit]

Keep plugging away. You will have those sooner or later. ALL grades are nice in that series.

 

Wellllll..........not holed.

Great coins folks. Thanks for showing them.

[nwcs]

Nice piece of history that served its purpose well!

Goose, great coin! I have been buying quite a few of the early quarters for our inventory just because I am addicted to early American coinage.....especially quarters. Your coin is B-3 (R.1), fyi. Dr. Peterson (et. al) will have their new quarter book out in a few months (I hope). Can't wait for that book!

thanks for the info Dennis. Can you translate that stuff for me?

 

As you know I've been after a piece of bust coinage for quite some time. I would like to buy some nicer ones but as someone in this thread said they are all nice!

[JadeRareCoin]

The good thing about quarters in G-4 is that most have escaped cleaning...relative to higher grade examples. Your coin looks original and nice. B-3 is the most common variety, but then again there is little premium associated with the rarer varieties. That's because few people collect bust quarters by variety. That will probably change with Dr. Peterson's new book. Your new purchase is exactly what a 200 year old piece of silver should look like. Looks great!!

nice oldtimer there, goose!! I hope to join the bust quarter and half realm sometime in the near future, but for now, I need to put some "stash" away...perhaps the "jaded" brothers will come up with something for me in that time.....

[berylcoin-migration]

Neat coin Goose. Any coins from that era that have survived problem free are a good find.

Excellent Goose! GD04 is my 4th favorite grade.

[TomB]

Nice freakin' coin, goose3!

 

Early, problem free type is an incredible value, in my opinion. The entire key to it, however, is in finding problem free coins. You did just that. The price of these pieces, relative to their rarity and availability is stunning. I have one or two nice early type pieces but have no intention of selling them. I would buy more if I could find them.

 

Nice coin!

[goose3]

I was bored and looked on certified collectors exchange for a nice bust coin............ran across this at JJTparty and immediately called Liz.

 

For 179.00 I personally don't feel you can buy SO much history for so little!

 

I can't wait to get it even though it's a low grade. It looked nice so I jumped all over it.

 

thanks for the nice comments all!

Count_Erfit,

 

There's only one thing that I have to say about your coins:

 

 

WOW! I can even say that backwards, WOW!

 

 

[James_OldeTowne]

A classic B-3, with the "E" missing at 12:00. I like it a lot! Nothing beats an original draped-bust coin, regardless of "grade".

Very cool. Always leaves me wondering who had it and spent it... What has this coin seen?

I have it on good authority that Lewis and Clark had this one as a pocket piece on their journey. Think I can get it pedigreed?
