The 04s from my recent submission in VF25. I still like this date, my first VF was back when they were a $500 coin and were considered the key. Pop of 107 in all VF grades, which is a number that impresses me as still low after so many years of grading.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.

I think we need to send the grading room a link to Photograde. That coin looks like a 35- 40 to me. Very nice!
Another fresh pic. 1895-P BQ I picked up last month in PC45. From these new pics, I was able to zoom in close and I now see minor verdigris in and around the devices / lettering.
What level of verdigris do you allow as acceptable to you? or none at all and immediately sell if discovered... ?

@JeffMTampa Jeff, My Full Head 1918/7-S SLQ I sold at StacksBowers last year had similar spotting which was determined to be adverse effects from a dipping or cleaning solution. The coloration presents itself over time under duress from temp / humidity changes. Yours might be something different.

Justin, Glad you're back in the hunt and nice half!
Jeff, Congrats of the 09-S dime, one of my favorites! Agree strongly on your comments about Liz.
Tim, I like your anniversary quarter!
Here's one I picked up from Pursuit of Liberty, a collector with a great eye! - CAC added - NGC 61...Thanks, Todd!
@JeffMTampa Jeff, Not worth a cross for me. I would cross it if it were XF. Registry entries are only for XF-ish. The Fine specimens I am holding for crack-outs to fill my Wayte Raymond. My plan would be to do it all at once or not at all... haven't decided.
Here is another F-15... a 1908-O common date:

Here's another fresh from the grading room- a 1900 Barber Quarter now a PC MS62:
This is the very common Type II/ III combination. I purchased it in January in an old NGC AU 58 holder. It's uncommon for me to try and upgrade an AU 58; I've historically tried to downgrade MS coins to a 58.
Another coin back from the grading room, a 1900 S Quarter with the rare Type I OBV paired with the Type III REV:

TrueView Photo:
As expected the coin came back in an AU Details- Scratched holder. It's interesting in the TrueView photo the scratch disappears. Maybe the PCGS photos should be called Glamour Shots?
Continuing with the run of Fine quarters, this issue continues to see a price run-up at many grade levels. A 1909-O PC/CAC F12 obtained April 18, 2012 from Heritage.

Here is a recent newp that just arrived earlier today. 1894-O BQ with centered O in PC45:
Take notice of some filled area for a few spaces in between the denticles. This can be seen below the R and D in the mintmark area.
Now compare that XF45 piece with this PCGS XF40. This mintmark is roughly in the same position but the wear in the rim denticles area is vastly different.
This O is ever so slightly higher or closer to the tail feathers. What might be deceiving is additional wear of the coin compared to the XF45 causing the mintmark to be more "flat" in appearance. The O might be slightly larger. Irregardless, this O seems "thicker" than the XF45.
Fascinating to me. - T

Another ANACS V - AU-58. Pix courtesy Barberkeys. To cross or not to cross????

Pix for this evening, PCGS AU-55...
Any thoughts on what might be going on within the date numerals for this 1910-D Barber Quarter?

Tim-
It looks like loose fibers of some material to me- not struck on the coin.

Not sure Jeff. Looks like fibers were in the striking cycle to me. Closer visuals...

Take a toothpick to the fibers or whatever! You won't hurt the coin and you will find out quickly!
@amwldcoin D - I would have to crack it. T

Nice coin! That's what a Barber should look like. XF40?
Congrats
Very nice!

Nice coins, gentleman! Has a woman ever posted on this thread?
I have a few coins coming back from the grading room. Here's a 1909 S Dime purchased raw, graded XF 45:
I purchased the coin thinking it would grade AU something. Guess I was wrong. This is a very tough coin to find in a AU.
This 2011-purchased '00-O is coming up on its 10th anniversary in my collection. It is from Liz Coggan when she was at JJ Teaparty.

I've always enjoyed dealing with Liz, both buying and selling. She's knowledgeable and fair both buying and selling.
Here's another newp fresh from the grading room- a PC AU551905 S Quarter:
This one was purchased in an ICG AU58 holder, cracked out, and submitted raw. I've wondered what causes this spotted type of toning?

Tim- you didn't bother to cross the '11 D 25C? I would think it would be worth the grading fee- it looks like a nice coin.
Here's another new one that just came back from the grading room. It was a raw find, a 1906 Half now in a MS62 holder:

Interesting shadow on the 58!

Who's going to Dalton next week?
For today, PC-40...
I'll be set up at Dalton. 1st show since Dalton last year! Really wondering if I can get my motor running!
