Nothing Serious: GTG PCGS 1875-S Quarter (with a couple of hints)

braddick

Hint #1: It IS in a problem holder, so what do you believe PCGS provided as the net grade, and what is the problem listed on the insert?
Hint #2: Yes, I purchased this quarter, and it is on its way to me.
(I didn't cross out the insert number, so no fair peeking unless you don't plan on playing.)

XF Details Cleaned (Also, it is a 20 cent piece)

I'm going with AU Details - Cleaned

Uhm, that is a double dime, not a double bit.

Batman23

I say XF details and cleaned. But there is something more than cleaned, there are odd scratches on the reverse and that one wing has a lot of missing detail.

Everyone ought to own at least one double dime, and the 75-S is a great candidate. Looks like XF details to me...... off to look.

I would say VF harshly cleaned?

braddick

It IS "XF Details" yet no one has selected PCGS designation for the details grade yet...
Here is a photo of the slab reverse:
(Obverse photo coming soon.)

I hadn't seen that until now, yet no: That isn't the reason.

I dunno, XF Details, Whizzed?

braddick

Whizzed?
No.
Decent guess though- the reverse slab shots makes it look like it is.

I guess PCGS figured it was not as bad as the listed problem. The surfaces are certainly off....whizzed, burnished, or smoothed?

Could be. I'd think Whizzed (altered surfaces) would trump what PCGS did state on the insert, yet still- could be.
Either way it is going to be popped out of its slab and placed in a type set for me.

What's going on with the OF A isn't that damage? I would say AU details due to the damage to the OF A. Looks better than my XF 40 from 10 years ago.

That's it Jim! The black mark is what is left from a cleaning/alteration/repair.
Here's the insert:

The wing looks like it has a cud.
