How can you tell without knowing the grade?
By MY standards (and opinion), slabbed coins with dip residue or fingerprints are viewed negatively. To remove the dip residue it would be necessary to crack out the coin, treat it to remove the dip residue and then pay to have it regraded. It is very possible the coin will look washed out once the dip residue has been removed. Why take the chance with any of this? It is best to pass up coins like this because they make someone else's problem your problem.
I got a line hook in on a 1918/7-S in FH... never graded before, never auctioned, never reported. Should know more late next week.> @jmlanzaf said:

Oh, It is an old green holder PCGS MS65. I am going to stop taking bad cell phone pictures soon. My Christmas present... a new Nikon... should arrive tomorrow. That should help out a bit but here is another pic of what others have said is a blotchy area (very faint, yes, on the coin surface but the camera must have picked that up at the right angle because it is very faint to a human viewer):

But A, B, C is relative to the grade. Suppose that coin is in an XF holder? [extreme, I know] Are you telling me that's a C XF?

When it comes "opinions" there really are no rules.
Pulled this statement out of Cline 4th Ed. related to the 1923-P in FH: "On some that are slabbed Full Head, the temple area is frequently weak, even nonexistent. Take careful note of weakness in the temple area. This coin is actually much scarcer then previously thought in Full Head." and "Many have a satiny finish and a strong Full Head. Generally, this coin meets normal grading standards. Obverse: Usually well struck, but 50 percent or better are weak around the date." and "When the grading services began, they used a description that read "including the 3 olive leaves in Miss LIberty's Hair" for the Full Head designation. That probably should be a bit relaxed on the 1923, since the line separating Miss Liberty's cheek, jawbone and ear hole is all there, but the three sprigs above that line is frequently flat. 10% struck with Full Heads."

I'm not crazy about it. It looks to be UNC, but it also looks like there was dip residue on it when it was holdered.
This is a pretty common date/mm, and not difficult to find with a full head as well.
A "C" coin. It does appear to have dip residue.
I like a better strike - with all the rivets on the shield showing. Full head isn't a requirement for my taste - but I do like it close.
something looks off on it like the date. will come back later and have another look
Thanks guys. I may have something a little more interesting next week... a rare date FH... here coming from a Barber quarter guy.

Like the series. I always thought it had a “Maxfield Parrish” look on the obverse.

Looks dipped to me, in my humble opinion. Better living through chemistry has failed us again. Pass.

Textbook ms64, not a FH.......easy coin to grade. (I'm starting off the New Year over confident).

Not FH. Dipped. Likely MS.

My favorite Quarter series. They can be addicting.
