I'll post the grade later. mike

I'm going to say EF40. Tough with all that toning. I'm thinkng that the high spots have wear. I may be wrong.

Baley · October 26, 2003 5:05AM

VF35?

EF45

I'm going to guess it's in an NGC holder with one of those befuddling "MS-65" grades. I think of a coin like this proving beyond the proverbial shadow of a doubt Bowers' opinion - that there are MS-65's of all descriptions; the good, the bad, and the fugly.

Would I dip it? Naah. Goes against my principles. But, I would seek a more attractive one.

Who's grade is it we are guessing? Is that a ngc slab if so I will guess 68.

darktone · October 26, 2003 5:12AM

yes NGC

Looks like a Xf-45 that went into a fire, then back into circualtion and now down to a Vf-35.

I am going to quess that it is not wear or chatter on the devices but toning.
MS63-MS64

DHeath · October 26, 2003 6:10AM

Is there any wear? I'd say no. I'd bet the toning makes it appear so. My guess is in the 65-66 range. You can't tell squat about those guys from a pic. JMO

MS66.

XpipedreamR · October 26, 2003 7:23AM

I'll go with the unc guessers. It's hard to tell from the pic, the area around the date looks unc, though. I like it.

tsacch · October 26, 2003 7:48AM

63

Hey Placid, no fair changing your grade

. You are the closest now. Here it is and a close up on the toning to show it is not all bad.

I forgot the star

Baley · October 27, 2003 4:26AM

wow, a superb gem coin that lots of us thought was well-circulated.

originalisbest · October 27, 2003 4:30AM

I knew I should've gone with the even more-ridiculous grade. Oh well, I'm sure its technical merits make it a high grade, but it remains unattractive to me.

Placid · October 27, 2003 4:41AM

The left wing looks so dang soft. I guess you don't need a sharp strike on wash quarters to get a 67.

originalisbest · October 27, 2003 5:23AM

You just don't need a full definition on such as the '56 - they all come mushy like that, even when fully struck - take a look at that year's proofs, and it's basically the same look.

Placid · October 27, 2003 5:39AM

Look at this pcgs 67. Pic

originalisbest · October 27, 2003 5:54AM

To get a 67 on these seems more a matter of surface preservation via lack of marks, more than any kind of a decent strike.
