I’ve been busy for the last several months but I’ve finally been able to sneak in a trip to the LCS. They have junk silver quarters in four trays sorted by decade: 60s, 50s, 40s, and 30s-earlier. The 30s-earlier bin is quite often a gold mine. Priced at 13x face or $3.25 each. All of them were Fine or below, except one:
This one was very detailed with a dirty obverse, which is probably why the dealer overlooked it. Turning it around yielded a FAR better reverse:
The edge resembles that of an AU/UNC as well. Hopefully some acetone should be able to fix the obverse, which does have some luster visible through the dirt. That was the only cherrypick I made today, but it was a great one. I haven’t done much looking at coins recently so I can’t quite tell if I’m seeing wear on the reverse high points, but I’ll lean towards AU for now. Still a great buy.

Looks like it was in a open coin book, or something similar? This preserved the reverse, also the rim?
That is indeed a nice cherry pick... great condition...and the obverse should clear up with some acetone and perhaps a hot water spray after....Show us pictures when done...Cheers, RickO
Nice pick up
