1923-S Standing Liberty Quarter

MarkInDavis

I may be getting a chance to look at a/make an offer on a raw 1923-S Standing Liberty quarter in the next couple days. No idea what condition but the date is supposed to be full and clear so I'm thinking VF+, but may have some rim damage. No idea about whether it has been cleaned or not. All my info so far is second hand from someone who doesn't know anything about coins. Any pointers to establish authenticity vs. counterfeit? What kind of value would you place on a VF coin with a rim hit that would keep it from slabbing? I appreciate any help you can offer.

Depends upon how pronounced the rim ding is: It could knock it down to Fine or all the way to AG and below.

Be sure to check for signs of cleaning too.

This date isnt AS overvalued as say a 16 quarter....but it is still overvalued. Beware of paying a premium for this coin! 10% under greysheet is NOT an unfair wholesale price.

Actually, the 23-s is not undervalued in any circulated grade with a full date. Those who are familiar with this series are well aware of this. Cleaned, missing date detail, and "problems" are the norm for this coin. Watch out for an added "S" mintmark on the common 23 P.

I would not pay the full retail price for a 23-s with a partial date, and even in VF, that could be a problem. If you aren't thoroughly familiar with this series, I would only buy dates like this certified by one of the well respected grading services. Furthermore, you should be familiar with any coin you buy, regardless of the “assigned” grade.

Also, watch out for the 23 s altered from a 28 s... As well as very deceptive fakes from China in ANACS holders...
