Jeremymundo Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I was just curios if this 1854 qauter dollar would be worth having it sent in and graded. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Grading would be 1/3 of the value of that coin how ever it was stored since 1854 is probably still ok today Jeremymundo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremymundo Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thank you. Possibly by chance do you know what a dealer would sell this coin for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 You can check eBay for prices It's a common coin you should be able to find a few in like condition for price comparison Jeremymundo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) It's worth what someone is willing to pay it's book value would be under 100 dollars some dealers would ask less then that and some more Edited January 17 by B.C . Jeremymundo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 No. You would lose all value by spending the money on "grading." Jeremymundo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I would grade your quarter as VF35, this is a common date and you would gain nothing financially from having it graded and encapsulated. If you are concerned about protecting the coin there are many far less expensive ways to do so. Two that are on the top of my head or Airtite capsules and the other is a single coin capital holder; both of these will do an excellent job of protecting the coin at a fraction of what it will cost to have a TPG grade and encapsulate.

Popular Post zadok Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 ...contrary to what was previously stated u would not "lose all value" having this coin graded...however u could possibly be in a diminishing return situation, in that u would not realize a dollar for dollar return on ur money...the cost of grading probably would not be recovered by the enhanced value of the coin being graded....true, grading mite assist in the selling of the coin but only marginally...also u would run the risk that the coin mite come back certified but as a detail coin if it is determined it was previously cleaned thereby actually lowering its desirability...this is true of almost all common dated coins in the middle to lower grades....coinbuf's grading assessment is accurate....

Quintus Arrius Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Let' get real here. There is no such thing as a "quater." Now a "quarter" dollar, that's different. Oh wait, maybe it's an error, or better yet, a variety... nope, just checked. There are four easily ascertainable letters on the reverse: Q U A R... Just busting your chops here, OP! 😉 😜 Jeremymundo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
