GTG: 1917 T1 Standing Liberty Quarter - revealed

spyglassdesign

I haven't done a GTG in a while, and thought this might be a fun one. Relatively easy to image compared to some coins I've had. It is slabbed by PCGS, is the only hint you get. As well as the closeup of the head.

It's ms64fh!

Have fun!

I hate going first... but I'll say MS65FH...

That sounds about right.

Not a lot of marks, so 65FH.

Same-65 FH.

Kliao

I'll be a little conservative and say 64FH.

jesbroken

My guess is definitely 65FH, beautiful.

I will venture out on the limb and opine 66FH

Jacques_Loungecoque

I’ll join you with the 66FH.

I like it at 67FH.

I would rather see it in hand- the image is not helping me capture the essence of the coin at the grade level options that I think come into play.

Here's a few.

MS63FH

Well struck coin... worthy of FH status. At grade levels at 65 and above and as I have written here before, there is no margin for error. In this instance, I suspect the coin may have graded 66FH//66+FH, but I am struggling with the surface quality that I see as a requirement for a coin to reach a certain grade level. Based on all the images, I am not satisfied to offer my opinion other than to suggest how it was likely graded. And my personal view is different - but then again and in all fairness- I did not see it in hand. I suspect a grade of 66FH is the grade on the holder.

63FH - luster seems muted and looks like there are a few light hairlines. But could be the photos making it look that way.

65FH, better strike than some others I've seen get FH designation

A nice coin, however as far as the higher grade levels am concerned about what looks to be friction down both the thigh and leg to our left but also even some to the right thigh and leg. The last set of pictures seem to show this, especially the first and third obverse pictures in that post. Besides interest in the actual grade, the True Views ought to be interesting.

There are no truviews, I checked.

I'll loop it again before reveal shortly but I don't recall seeing any friction in hand.

spyglassdesign

Pcgs ms64fh. As @7Jaguars saw, it has either a hint of weakness or possibly a tinge of friction from the right knee down. I do not see any other areas of friction, and there are very few hits anywhere.

Thanks for playing! Great guesses!

coinkat

At least there is agreement on FH status... The few bag marks really are not in critical areas that draw attention in a negative light. Without seeing n hand, the grade boiled down to surfaces and this is where it becomes guess work from an image in contrast to a review of the coin in hand. I did not see the reverse as limiting the grade as which often the case with this series.

And a beautiful coin to be sure!
