Twenty-five different Bust quarters in a Dansco-like album

Lot Title:	Twenty-five different Bust quarters in a Dansco-like album
Lot Number:	711
Description:	Forest Park Collection II. Collector appeal: "A+" due to the rare amount of effort it took to complete a date run (1805 - 1838) and Dansco variety set of early quarters, in high grade, no less. In essence, every single coin is a highlight, since every early quarter collector knows how difficult it is to locate strongly detailed quarters pre-1839. A rapid listing follows: 1805 (VF, possibly a slight hint of luster), 1806 (VF+, perhaps slightly cleaned), 1807 (VF), 1815 (VF, just about the perfect, greyish "circulated cameo" appearance), 1818 (XF, definite luster but very faint hairlines and a handful of meaningless surface digs), 1819 "sm 9" (XF/old cleaning, now recovered almost completely including rather strong album toning), 1819 "lg 9" (VF), 1820 "sm 0" (XF, a strangely compelling and attractive coin), 1820 "lg 0" (VF, absolutely superb original), 1821 (VF, appears fully original although slightly glossy on the reverse), 1822 (VF, and exquisitely original), 1824 (VF/cleaned, but the cleaning seems to affect only the lower half of the obverse, which has not toned orange-bronze), 1825 (XF/old cleaning, maybe even an ancient cleaning that has almost completely recovered), 1828 (XF, absolutely beautifully dusky lead-grey), VF-XF examples of 1831 "sm lt", 1831 "lg lt", 1832, 1833 (XF, delightful), 1834 (VF, powdery album tone), XF or very close examples of 1835 (superb crusty original), 1836, 1837, and 1838 (XF). Additional pieces fill two latter slots, including 1834 "O/F" (AU, possibly an old cleaning and now strongly album toned), and 1818/5 (VF).

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
