My first piece I had graded. Not worth a ton but I'm proud of it.

    Would you like to guess? Or should I spill the beans?

    I agree with XF.... Nice old coin, seen some commerce - probably purchased a few beers in it's time... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I suppose as a hint. No one here has guessed the grade yet. That should narrow it down some.

    It was in a lot of Barber quarters on ebay. 5 Quarters I paid $50 for.

    The coin slabbed by PCGS as AU55. Thanks everyone :)

    I didn't get a chance to guess before the reveal, but I was thinking AU-55 based on the amount of luster. Nice looking Barber at a great price.
