Poll: GRADE REVEALED (1914-S Barber Quarter)

Patches

My first attempt at a poll, thought I'd give it a go. What do you grade this 1914-S Barber Quarter?

F15

Very Fine... all the letters of Liberty are visible but not complete or bold... as for VF what... I'd say VF30

Nice coin and congrats on the addition to your collection!

Edited to add, if the grade is constant with barbercoins.org, then it's a VF20 possibly a VF30 which was my original guess.

VF30

great coin Patches

very tough date (very, very) and a nice original look to boot!

I'm not great at grading these in this range, but I'd say VF-20, and solid




Oh, please post this on the Barber thread ... I think the serious Barber-heads will really
enjoy it (I know I do), and will give you some great feedback

Thanks for all of the kind words so far everyone. Grades appear to be all over the place on this one, which is why I chose this one to post. I will post the grade tomorrow morning...

I hedged on a 25, which IMO should be the max.

I think the eye-appeal could definitely grade it up from a 20 to the 25.

Thats my thoughts

Looks like a VF20 to me. The strength of LIBERTY and overall eye appeal could push it to VF25, but the wear on the wings and banner restrains the grade, IMO. It's also PCGS graded, and they seem to be really strict these days.

real grade = f-15

slabed grade = vf-20

Grade revealed in first post too, PCGS F-15. This is why it's a personal favorite of mine in my collection. It's graded correctly in my opinion, it's strong for the grade and has really nice eye appeal. Thanks for participating!

I need to tighten my grading standards once again.

doh

Wow, if that coin were one year older it would be in a VF20 holder. GREAT coin!

coinkat

first of all, this is a terrific coin for the grade and date.

I graded it F15 due to the flatness and overall wear on the hair above the forehead... there was really no separation of the hairline and the forehead. While LIBERTY is well defined, the flatness in key areas really makes it hard to give it a VF20. Nice reverse, however alittle more wing detail would help for VF20.

This is a keeper regardless of the grade

PawPaul

thats a brutal grade for that date ........ how about you sell it so you won't feel so bad

Patches, after comparing you're images to a 1914-S that I sold awhile back (also in a PCGS F-15 holder), both coin's appear to have equal detail and both appear a little undergraded. At least PCGS is consistent.

stockwiz

even though the results are shown already, I'll say VF-20, and I guarantee if you resubmitted you could get that into a VF-20 holder, although there's no reason too of course. Just saying. Very nice coin! How much do you want for it?

Patches

Hi Dan,

Yeah, those two are twins...they must've spent their time in the same pocket back in the day. I have no plans to resubmit the coin. I'd rather own a coin very strong for the grade, then a coin with a higher number on the plastic and it seeming ho hum. Selling would be a different matter, but this one is off the market for awhile

o.k.......... i will pay 250$ for either of them
