I have been in a numismatic but lately, but about a week ago I was higher bidder on this quarter. I normally don't purchase raw coins anymore, but this one spoke to me. The sellers images were just good enough for me to take a chance, and sure enough, it's what I thought it was. Now...what to do with it?

    Looks like it has enough detail for 15/20, but if it straight graded it might be netted to 10/12.

    Certainly worth a flip back on ebay. Great pics will get you a good premium.

    Just adding that I also don't think it will straight grade without being netted to F12-15.

    If I were putting it into inventory raw I would call it VF-20, Cleaned.
