Please guess the grade.

Paradisefound · October 12, 2018 8:39PM

MS65 ..... what a monster tone

erwindoc · October 12, 2018 8:47PM

Solid 66 or better, perhaps a toning bump too!

ilikemonsters · October 12, 2018 8:53PM

Looks like a 66

jtlee321 · October 12, 2018 9:10PM

MS-66

davewesen · October 12, 2018 9:17PM

looks like a 66 - with a hidden star between the I and B of PLURIBUS

it also looks like a minor DDR

koynekwest · October 12, 2018 9:35PM

Don't know the grade but it sure is purdy!

mannie gray · October 13, 2018 1:24AM

66+/shot 7

66+/shot 7

cameonut2011 · October 13, 2018 4:21AM

66

DollarAfterDollar · October 13, 2018 5:04AM

MS 66 is the grade IMO. There might be a bump for color though. The dig on the obverse near the rim caught my eye right away but shouldn't.

ricko · October 13, 2018 5:58AM

MS65...not sure if it will get a tarnish bump....dings in the motto and lettering... Cheers, RickO

grip · October 13, 2018 6:08AM

Color bump.67

BlindedByEgo · October 13, 2018 10:42AM

66+ and very pretty tarnish.

metalmeister · October 13, 2018 10:57AM

I would go 67 just because.

Peace_dollar88 · October 13, 2018 11:09AM

I'm going to say 66

I grade it gorgeous!

CCGGG · October 13, 2018 11:18AM

65 (Could have been higher without the tarnish)

Smudge · October 13, 2018 12:23PM

65 color bump to 66.

thisistheshow · October 13, 2018 2:05PM

I have recently looked at (online) a bunch of high grade silver Washington quarters, and noticed how many toners have toning which "hides" the coin too much- if that makes sense.

This example is the opposite of that. Beautiful quarter.

BillJones · October 13, 2018 2:18PM

It looks like an MS-67 to me, but I usually don't grade modern coins.

ChangeInHistory · October 13, 2018 2:22PM

I'll guess MS-66+

HighRelief · October 13, 2018 2:30PM

65+

wooglout · October 13, 2018 2:32PM

66- ill go technically a 65+ with a bump for color. There seems to be a longish scratch emanating from the right edge of the bust of Washington.

That's a die crack I believe.

kaz · October 13, 2018 5:28PM

66+?

U1chicago · October 13, 2018 6:35PM

And the answer is....

marcmoish · October 13, 2018 6:39PM

66+,

and agreed its uber noice

Someone had too much to drink in the encapsulation or grading room that day.

cameonut2011 · October 13, 2018 6:44PM

How are you expected to sell a coin with a label like that? I wonder if PCGS would fix it for free. For what it is worth, I thought the color was a bit iffy but assumed that it looked differently in hand (because as we all know while some True Views are spot on, there are some that look significantly different in hand).

I don't know about fixing it. It would depend on which part was correct, right?
Anyways, I like it as is, so no correcting is needed for me.

Smudge · October 13, 2018 7:18PM

I have never seen a number grade on a details coin. So is it a 66 or a details?

It might be a one of a kind slab!
And we'll never really know which one it is (maybe it's both).

Peace_dollar88 · October 13, 2018 7:36PM

Wow. I have never seen a label like that with PCGS. One of a kind!

also thought iffy color, but assumed it's straight graded. I mean why would anyone post a details GTG, right?

But it did straight grade! And detail grade!
I wouldn't post a simple details GTG.

No worries! My reply was made as a joke.

Especially of a Washington quarter... With that said, I did a details grade for a classic commemorative once that I thought had an excellent shot of straight grading.

Maybe PCGS is finally giving both technical and market grades... I wish.

I know it wouldn’t work for all problem coins, but for some (like QC), I think it would be nice to put a number and details.

crazyhounddog · October 13, 2018 8:49PM

I didn’t know they passed out numerical grades when genuined.
Must be something new.
Pretty quarter by the way. I don’t see the problem either.

There’s no mention of PCGS doing it. So I’m not sure what exactly happened.

This is overkill, but I always like reinforcing the basics of coining... Aren't die scratches normally found only in the fields and not seen moving onto the devices?

Maybe it's just a true scratch on the truncation that just happens to line up with a die scratch in the field?

metalmeister · October 14, 2018 10:16AM

Is this the New World Order? I have never seen this insert before.

fiftysevener · October 14, 2018 11:07AM

Somebody call the Govenor

IrishMikey · October 14, 2018 3:00PM

I believe what you have is a coin where the grade changed during the process -- either a Q.T. that was changed to a MS-66 at the last stage of grading, or vice-versa. A glitch in their program allowed both descriptions to appear on the label. No way would I give up that one!
