Thoughts and grade for this 65 Quarter

I was curious about what this would grade and do You think it has nice toning
and/or be worth getting slabbed?

Thanks...

    Looks like a nice quarter but I can't really tell a grade from the picture but if I was forced to say I would say somewhere in the 64-65 area. mike image
  • Not the greatest pictures but I'd say don't slab it looks like a MS-64

    I don't think it would get a high enough grade to justify the slabbing cost.
  • The reason I was asking.. is there is a whole
    roll of these

    sorry the pics are not great..
    the toning is about the same on both end pieces...

    It's not really a bad '65, just typical. They might grade it as choice since it is
    relatively mark free but the well worn die will prevent it from going gem.

    Nice looking coin, most if not all 65's, 66's, bussiness strikes look as if they were struck with worn dies. That's a nice quarter dollar.

    I think the best reason to submit that coin is that it'll holder as a business strike, and I like the look of the coin just fine, but it's likely in the 64-65 range as CK indicated, so if you holder it you won't profit. Holder it if you like it for your collection. PCGS has a tendence to attribute nice 65's in SMS holders, so if you're building a registry set, sometimes a decent coin in a business strike holder if hard to find, and it's a coin I'd make instead of buying. image

  • ~I do actually like the look of it.. and broken down (price per piece in the roll .73 cents)..its pretty cheap...
    whether I get it slabbed is another story.. thought I might take the chance with a few in the roll..

    ms-63. you don't need a worthless piece of plastic for this coin.

  • I suppose I will just keep it in its original flip...
    I would love to find a few earlier ones like the color on this one
    Thanks all for the thoughts.......

    The golden brown color is pretty common on most of the pre-1974 clads from rolls and is seen
    on many of the pre-'86 issues. It does appear on the mint set issues also but not as frequently.

    Many of the clad are very difficult to find in rolls and the only truly common issues are the '76 bic-
    centennial coins.

    The '65 clads were hoarded in huge quantities but most were released by the late 1960's.
