Need grade for Washington quarter....

I have an album of BU Washington quarters and I think this is my very best one.

Your opinions would be very much appreciated.

Is that blue color under the eagle a reflection?

From the photo's it looks pretty good. I will guess MS65. The strike is a little week but stronger than many I have seen.

66

Hard to say - the pics are a little over exposed, looks to have nice luster and I would guess is safely a 63. More likely a 65 or better...
The greenish blue area under the tail feathers (if really there) might concern me though.
I always try to match the coin's background color to the overall lightness or darkness of the coin.

The blue on the tail bothers me. It would bother the services as well. They will mark this one MS65 cause of it.

Looks like a little PVC on the tail.

Nice Gem, for sure. From the pix, I agree MS 65 would seem to be just about right.

Determine what the Blue stuff is and if it's a problem, resolve it.

Set it between the pages of an old Book and forget about it for a few years.

You'll be surprised at what it will look like but be extra careful not to let it slide across the pages.

Very nice coin!

BTW, it looks like it's presently in one of those Black ICG slabs.

Is it?

No, it's loose and sitting on top of my black leather wallet.

MS65, but the blue stuff looks suspicious.

It's a pretty coin. That apparently blue spot that so many folks have mentioned could simply be translucent toning from storage in a bankroll.

65 maybe 66

65 shot-66

Tell me where you're sending it and then I'll tell you what it would grade

derryb · February 26, 2008 12:36PM

64 not a strong strike

mcheath · February 26, 2008 12:39PM

Ms65 the strike really isn't that bad.

percyb · February 26, 2008 12:58PM

65 or better. There are few good strikes on WQs. Your photo is whited out in some areas so it's difficult to say for sure...but if those spots are as clean as the rest of the coin I'd go with 65 easy.
