1918/7-s Quarter in old collection just graded

hiijacker · January 30, 2020 3:12PM

I was expecting a higher grade. What do you think? Regrade, or just send to CAC?

Post the grade so us lazy people don't have to look it up.

Edit: Now that I looked it up, it happened to be exactly the grade I expected. Why risk losing this beauty in the mail trying for a better grade or a sticker?

BryceM · January 30, 2020 3:18PM

I guess VF30, shot at 35. Nice coin. Fantastic date.

Of course send it to CAC.

johnny9434 · January 30, 2020 3:20PM

nice quarter with a readable date. I like

Jimnight · January 30, 2020 3:23PM

Nice coin!

I Agree, however It's not a question of being lazy. I'm not going to waste my time to do the OP's "work."

So anyone interested can go look up my opinion on this coin's grade.

CoinJunkie · January 30, 2020 3:28PM

Not my series, but the grade looks reasonable to me. How much more would it be worth as a 35?

Cool overdate, in any case.

sparky64 · January 30, 2020 3:55PM

Not my series either.
Awesome coin.

I see it's VF30 and like it there.
I say leave it as is and let the next owner dream of the upgrade.
Although I see the price guide increase for a 35 is negligible.

30 + bean > 35 + no bean

Correctly graded by current standards. Nice looking coin.

A nice problem free VF.

spacehayduke · January 30, 2020 5:22PM

I agree with the 30 - if CAC thinks it is higher, there is always the golden sticker of fame.......

Best, SH

koynekwest · January 30, 2020 5:22PM

That coin would suit me just fine.

DCW · January 30, 2020 5:58PM

I was going to say VF35. Nice looking coin with "honest wear."

bcdeluxe · January 30, 2020 6:50PM

I would have guessed VF as well. Unless the coin is a 27-S, which is notoriously poorly struck, the outer shield line (red arrow) needs full definition from the gown to get to XF, and the inner line (blue) needs to be complete as well. This doesn't make it. That said, this is a very nice coin for the grade, and one I'd be happy to own.

Dave99B · January 30, 2020 9:50PM

Lovely original VF. Just a good old great example.

Back in the Photograde days a Fine was supposed to have an intact outer shield line. Now it's XF?

Probably doesn't get penalized for striking weakness as opposed to wear.

Commencents · January 30, 2020 11:11PM

Looks VF35 to me, shot XF40. Yours have more details than the pictured one.

Unless your planning on selling it, I'd keep it as is and maybe send it to CAC.

koynekwest · January 30, 2020 11:25PM

And that could very well be striking weakness.

DontTellTheWife · January 31, 2020 4:40AM

Great looking coin regardless!! Nice strong date, i do agree it could have gone higher especially when you look at the amout of wear on, or not on, the knee and leg. No doubt SLQ's are tough grade as strike somewhat varaible. We all know if that was most raw dealers cetainly would have called more, many, much more!!

Again, fantastic looking coin,amd color and date, congrats on owning her!

ricko · January 31, 2020 6:15AM

That is a very nice old SLQ....I think the grade is appropriate....If you are concerned about selling it, then a green bean would enhance the value.....Cheers, RickO

DollarAfterDollar · January 31, 2020 8:49AM

I'd send it to CAC just to see. Before I saw the posted grade I assumed VF35 myself. Can't hurt to try if you have an account with CAC. If not, there are plenty here who can help.

Then that would remove the "Haven't submitted" option from a future sale.
I don't like that.

astrorat · January 31, 2020 9:33AM

Perhaps I am in the minority ... but based on the TrueView, the coin looks cleaned but market acceptable. The coin should not CAC, but it may simply because it is a key coin. I agree with @topstuf that submitting to CAC removed the "haven't submitted" option which can be an enticement during a sale.

Looks like it's been lightly dipped if that makes sense. It may be the pics but the surfaces don't look like they're entirely original. How important are original surfaces to CAC?

Now that's a good question................

I dunno, but there are tons of dipped silver dollars with beans out there.

Very nice SLQ overdate but agree this one has had a bit more cleaning than the slab may suggest. I would be happy with the grade as is.
