It could just be the photo...but it doesn't do much for me...looks flat and lifeless.

Same here.

Could just be the photo, but my gut reaction is that the coin is AT, probably to hide a cleaning.

Casey · April 10, 2004 4:54AM

I agree. I don't like the look of it at all.

Based upon the images and the inherent limitations thereof, it looks like an original toned coin to me, but one which is lacking in eye-appeal.

ss350camaro · April 10, 2004 5:05AM

I t looks like it has oxidized and has some powdery residue on it? Almost like it has been wet at one time ? Did it get submerged in water ?

Reverse better than obverse but overall not so hot.

Umm. Uhh. Ahh. It's OK, but not beautiful.

Neutral to neutral-negative

coinkat · April 10, 2004 9:12AM

I like the coin for its originality.

DCAMFranklin · April 10, 2004 9:21AM

Hope the grade was rounded down for lack of luster.

Merc · April 10, 2004 9:25AM

Toning looks origional but dull. It is in the MS60-62 range.

nankraut · April 10, 2004 9:29AM

Well...it's in a holder (PCGS?). It depends on what you think it's worth. I've seen them a lot worse. This one's probably AU-55 or so, IMHO.

roadrunner · April 10, 2004 9:39AM

A very typical look for an original Barber. I've seen MS63's with this same look and they just do not seem to sell no matter how clean they are. Suggest finding a ligher colored one that is more market acceptable.

Looks MS, but I think the surfaces were altered somehow. Its too dull for a MS coin. Looks like amonia was used on the coin. Its hard to tell from the scans.

Yawn

ldhair · April 10, 2004 10:11AM

I kinda wonder what it looks like from other angles?

geb209 · April 10, 2004 10:18AM

If it hasnt been cleaned, then I love it. All original dark toning -- the best in the world. Shows the coin has character.

Elcontador · April 10, 2004 10:19AM

On top of everything else, the strike on this coin is horrid.

DominusDeus · April 10, 2004 10:22AM

I only own two barber quarters, so that one looks mighty appealing to me right now...

prooflike · April 10, 2004 4:22PM

Thanks for all the input, it looks like we are pretty much in agreement... I think it is original but unattractive.

jcping · April 10, 2004 4:26PM

To me, its eye appeal is "below average."

prooflike · April 10, 2004 4:42PM

I forgot to mention, it is in a 63 holder

lordmarcovan · April 10, 2004 5:31PM

Obverse: average to slightly negative.
Reverse: not bad looking; kind of nice, actually.

Dave99B · April 11, 2004 2:12PM

Not horrible, but it seems a little lifeless. I would expect more from a '63.
