Hey CladKing, you'll like this one...

I know you have said in the past that it is tough to get a 1969 clad quarter in good shape. Here is one I picked up on eBay for $40....

You're right it is a very nice coin.

These usually come poorly struck and despite the weaknesses especially on LIBERTY this
is very well struck for the date. The little marks on the obverse are probably planchet
defects that weren't obliterated in the strike. It's a nice solid gem of a date that's rarely
seen nice.

rlawsha: I only didn't bid on that because I saw you were the high bidder and I wasn't sure if I wanted to enter a serious bid. I'm shocked you got it so cheap. I bought one for $100+ once from aw coins but returned it. It wasn't that nice. Good purchase!

Nice quarter.

I am surprised I got it that cheap also (LINK). I think the seller is a member here. I think I had the item sniped for about $89 if it went that high. Hey, even I deserve a deal once in a while especially considering how PCGS nailed me on my last submission. I usually can grade 1982 coins within a point but this submission was ridiculous.

Man, the PCGS price guide says that's $25. Is $40 the real price point? Makes me wonder about my 68-D with peripheral toning in PCGS 66.

An ms66 69-p quarter is $100 coin. Rlawsha just got pretty lucky. I'm glad I didn't bid becasue I wasn't too interested in paying $100 again, so if I had bid I would have likely placed $75 or something and only have raised the price on you.

Sorry about your pcgs submission. I had an 82-p half, thought was at least ms65, likely ms66, and they ms64'd it. I am beginning to think they've gone a whole grade tighter on clads recently. Just when I actually have a bunch I want to send in .

One went for $58 on Heritage. On Teletrade one went for $110 and the other for $95. The PCGS POP is 47/3 so there are not a lot of them out there. I know, it's a modern and the POPS are unstable but it does have a lower POP than a lot of the other from that time.

As far as the 68-D goes it's a little different story. The PCGS population on the 68-D in MS66 is 290 with 61 higher.

Look at the scans,that's why it went cheap.

If you're going to make a comment like that then you should give some detail....

I think the quarter looks like butt in that auction listing scan, and I think that's what grip is alluding to.....

You're right, the auction picture wasn't very good. That probably did play in my favor.

Yes I was replying to the auction scans,next time I'll be more precise.
