I picked this coin up the other day , becuase I felt it was a little undergraded. It currently resides in a PCGS Holder.

What do you grade it or what would you feel comfortable buying this coin as grade wise?

PCGS Good-6

vg 21-P's are weak on the strike.

I could talk myself in to F12 on that coin.

6 or 8

VG8-10......... Might make F-12 if you "pay the tax" a few times

Okay, folks, I don't mean this as a challenge; I mean this as an educational opportunity for myself.

I called it G-6, though admittedly I was thinking borderline VG-8. And at these grades this coin is worth a premium over nominal technical grade, IMO, because it's so nicely colored, original-looking and problem-free.

But...I'm looking at the detail and comparing it to stuff like Photograde and the ANA standards and such, and I can't possibly see more than VG-8 on this one going strictly off the detail.

Yet so many of you are seeing solid VG-8, VG-10 and even F-12 that there must be some nuances to grading Walkers that I don't see. Or maybe I just terminally SUCK at grading well-circulated Walkers.

So...educate me.

I think it is probably graded as a VG-8. But saying that I'll agree that it could upgrade to F-12 on the right day and right grader. Reason being that it is orginal key date coin with no damage. And the fact that the early dates are known to be weak strikes. And last but not least it's a dam pretty coin.

VG10 tops

solid, problem free, vg. A touch away from fine. If it were mine and I was offering for sale, I'd probably try to get fine money owing to the unavailability of problem free key date coins in the "market."

Thanks yall,

The coin grades Good-6. I thought it should be in a Vg-8 holder. I have spent a few months looking for 21-p and D halves for some local folks, and this coin looked undergraded IMO. The only thing that I can think why PCGS graded it a good-6 was for the slight weakness at the top of the 19. I was going to list on the bay here in the next day or so, and was hoping that I could leave it in the PCGS good 6 holder and it sell on its own merits in the Vg price range, where it should be.

I'm usually not into circulated coins, but that one has a very nice look!!!

Jim -

Quit stalling, man. Put your damn 1901-S quarter on eBay. Start it at $1.00, with N/R. I promise hot and heavy ACTION!
