I am selling off some of my extras as I upgrade my collection. Thanks for taking the time to look at my auctions. Please take a look through my feedback and read all of the auction terms below before bidding if you're not yet familiar with my auctions. This auction is for: a very attractive original 1837 Capped Bust Quarter grading sharp XF. It is a B4, a rare variety that the Browning variety guide I have lists as a rarity 5 piece. This is a nice piece with good detail and outstanding eye appeal for a circulated coin. It has a natural medium original brownish gray patina. There are none of the serious scratches or rim bumps that typically plague these old quarters, and XF isn't a typical grade either, most being found in low grade and beat up. You are not going to find them like this very often, so grab it before I change my mind and sock it away for another twenty years. I've priced it fairly considering the rarity, so fill that hole in your variety set while it's out here. Many of these coins were broken out of a ANACS, NGC and PCGS slabs over the years to put them in my Dansco albums. A nice piece overall, and a little harder date to find these days. The 1837 B4 Capped Bust Quarter in this listing IS A "RAW COIN" (NOT PROFESSIONALLY GRADED OR SLABBED). As usual, I FULLY GUARANTY THIS COIN TO BE GENUINE. I also guaranty that the buyer will receive the exact coin shown in the photos immediately upon receipt of payment in full. Thank you for looking and happy hunting! ALL COINS ARE GUARANTEED GENUINE. As my feedback attests, ALL COINS ARE CONSERVATIVELY GRADED AND PROBLEM FREE unless otherwise noted. I have been asked several times if I will take layaways. I will take LAYAWAYS on a case by case basis, but please email me at access1@centurytel.net to discuss terms BEFORE BIDDING. Thank you. AUCTION TERMS Because some items are offered for sale in other venues, I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end any auction early. GRADING AND PRICING I use ANA grading standards and interpret them based on photos in the official guide as well as 40+ years personal experience. Feel free to disagree with our grading and offer whatever you like. I post a large clear photo of each item we sell so I rarely have any returns. It is not possible to describe every mark on a coin so see the pic and email any questions before bidding. The goal is to avoid surprises. Any prices mentioned are for reference purposes only and are not meant to imply any guaranty grade or value of item elsewhere. Please check your preferred price guides before bidding. A word on SLABS: I have seen so many misgrades by the major grading services the past couple years, both overgraded and undergraded, that I have lost all faith in them and wonder why anyone would trust their opinion in the first place. And are the 'big boys' trying to tell us you can't get ripped off by buying a PCGS or NGC slab? Sure you can, IF you don't know what you're looking at! It seems to me that the very people they claim to be protecting are the ones most likely to be ripped off when buying their slabs! Why pay them a premium for what amounts to nothing more than a poor opinion at times. Sometimes I think they've been doing their grading at the local bar and grill at happy hour! Save yourself a ton of money and go back to enjoying coin collecting for what it is for- THE COINS! Learn to grade and stop paying for someone else's opinion. I have saved so much in the past 15 years since I stopped buying slabs that I have many more coins to show for my money now...
