1819 Capped Bust Quarter. VAM? GRADE?(NGC RESULTS)

[JOBESSI]

Hey guys- I took numerous pics of the reverse. My camera has a hard time focusing on just one area of the coin when it comes to subjects that small. There's also a doubling on the "5" in the denomination on the reverse. I was hoping the VAM GUY (CJ I believe) could shed some light on it. Top 40? Grade?

This is the B-3 variety of the 1819 Bust Quarter. It is a very common variety and not rare. Bust Quarters varieties are not distinguished by Vams, only Morgan and Peace dollars are. This coin like most of the other raw coins you have posted has been cleaned.

ugh, . perhaps it was cleaned 100 years ago? what grade would you give it, discounting the cleaned...

[Mark T]

Technical grade – XF 45 - Au 50 .

AU details, but really harshly cleaned in my opinion. Value is a little below EF.

Sometimes, it is easier to grade, and evaluate surfaces from smaller images. These are white-balance adjusted:

that does look better! Thanks for the tip, James.

NGC listed the first half of the info on the grading they've done. No grade yet, but they listed the variety. "1819 Small 9 variety B-3" They charged my card, so there should be a grade posted by the end of the day.

[JOBESSI]

XF Details B-3 it is!
