    MS65 ..... what a monster tone :)<3

  • erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,287 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Solid 66 or better, perhaps a toning bump too!

  • ilikemonstersilikemonsters Posts: 767 ✭✭✭✭

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

    it also looks like a minor DDR

    66

    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.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

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

  • gripgrip Posts: 9,962 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Color bump.67

  • BlindedByEgoBlindedByEgo Posts: 10,754 ✭✭✭✭✭

    66+ and very pretty tarnish.

    I would go 67 just because.

  • CCGGGCCGGG Posts: 1,267 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65 (Could have been higher without the tarnish)

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,823 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65 color bump to 66.

  • thisistheshowthisistheshow Posts: 9,386 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

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

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

  • ChangeInHistoryChangeInHistory Posts: 3,092 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'll guess MS-66+

  • HighReliefHighRelief Posts: 3,720 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65+

    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.

  • kazkaz Posts: 9,279 ✭✭✭✭✭

    How are you expected to sell a coin with a label like that? :D 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? :D
    Anyways, I like it as is, so no correcting is needed for me.

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,823 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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_dollar88Peace_dollar88 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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. :)

    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.

  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 14,071 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

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

    That's a die crack I believe.

    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?

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

  • IrishMikeyIrishMikey Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭

    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!
