Could this 1932 quarter get a + sign

JOZ · March 25, 2010 4:45AM

Does this quarter have enough eye appeal to receive a + sign.

How would anyone know the answer to that?

Marauderrt10 · March 25, 2010 4:50AM

<< How would anyone know the answer to that? >>

i think no, it looks average to me. Plus why would it matter if it has a + on it? Just get a CAC sticker for $10....

Steve27 · March 25, 2010 4:52AM

No, it would have to be better than 85% of coins with the same grade. In this case, the coin looks maxed-out already.

commoncents05 · March 25, 2010 5:00AM

From what I understand, the + is for PQ coins for the grade, not eye appeal.

The + from PCGS is like the star from ngc, is it not? By your images, it looks as if your quarter is high end with great eye appeal, so I think it would get a +.

AUandAG · March 25, 2010 5:09AM

Do you think we work at PCGS????

To me, that coin would deserve a negative. No eye appeal at all.

Toning can be very unattractive on everything except Morgans.

I agree

No, the NGC * is for eye appeal. The PCGS + is for high end for the grade.

relicsncoins · March 25, 2010 5:14AM

Unfortunately no.........It only qualifies for a - (minus) sign.

chucknra · March 25, 2010 5:53PM

And so the questions about "Is this coin a plus" begins!

Boom · March 25, 2010 6:08PM

Only 1 way to find out for sure.

Bear · March 25, 2010 6:33PM

I would say no. However, what the hell does a fuzzy bear know.

BillyGoatsGruff · March 26, 2010 11:40AM

Send it in, and let us know.... my bet is no - too many obv. hits and a bit dark (maybe the image)...

coinguy1 · March 26, 2010 11:45AM

Edited/deleted, as my previous comment was based on the thought that the coin was graded lower than it actually is.

BigE · March 26, 2010 11:59AM

I would take a shot at it, maybe you would get lucky. The coin goes from 1150 to 22000 in 67. It goes from 1150 to 1700 if it just gets the plus. It may get holdered without the plus into a regular shield. So I really don't know what the heck you should do

...with eye appeal as a factor.

Why do you edit all of your replies and comments?

I have seen this many times over the last 3 months and I'm curious- since many here find you to be so precise and logical with your input.

Do you misspell many words? Or review what you may have said and need to edit out quickly to avoid sarcastic comments from others.

I understand that you are supposed to be top notch when it comes to knowledge of coins and grading (but pictures do not tell the whole story now do they) but yet several of your posts are edited.

Why not let your thoughts go with the original flow and let the chips fall where they may?

ChrisRx · March 26, 2010 12:24PM

Who knows? Who cares? Do you think it is pq for the grade? Does one of the graders think it is? Does a potential buyer? These answers may vary from person to person so I say "Who cares."

Boom · March 26, 2010 12:31PM

Overall, I find the coin attractive (as 32 P go) AND

granted the coin is greatly enlarged which makes even

the most minute flaws seem more pronounced than in hand.

However, having had hours to further scrutinize it since my

initial post, .... in lieu of the tics on the face (focal area) and

now noticing the hit on his wing, my honest OPINION IS that

despite pleasing aesthetics it is maxed-graded and will not

get a + designation. I actually hope I'm wrong though.

Still, it doesn't hurt to try & if you do try I wish you the best of Luck.
JMHO - FWIW!

Raybo · March 26, 2010 12:35PM

It just might! (if it was in a 65 holder)

I don't edit anywhere close to all of my replies and comments. Why did you choose to exaggerate so greatly?

Yes, I misspell words on occasion, and sometimes I review my posts in order to try to make them clearer and/or more thorough. I have no concerns about sarcastic comments from others.

In this thread I edited my previous post because, as I already stated, my original comment was based on having thought the coin's current grade was lower than it actually is. So, I had replied to another poster and commented that I wasn't s sure the coin didn't have a shot (for a plus designation). Under the circumstances, it wouldn't have made sense to, as you suggest "let the chips fall where they may".

I'm not one to quibble, but technically you do edit your posts as if you are not reading or maybe you 'skim' the topic like a moderator would do to see if things are going ok.- I have seen this many many times like I stated over the last 3 months. Say what you feel without the edit.

and I don't need to exaggerate on what I read, it is there for all of us to see!

pakasmom · March 26, 2010 1:06PM

Why are people bothered by other peoples' harmless idiosyncrasies? Cracks me up when someone complains about Bear's double spacing or the like.
Now, Mr. Feld edits too many of his posts?

FWIW, I too think the '32 may be max graded as is. But wish you luck if you try for it...

TomB · March 26, 2010 2:35PM

That coin does not look like a high end MS66 to me and I would not be surprised if it were cracked out and resubmitted a number of times that it might come back as an MS65 a certain percentage of the time.

magikbilly · March 26, 2010 2:42PM

Hi there,

I never noticed Mark's edits. It does not bother me. Does anyone recall what othergrading systems say about the use of a "+" sign?
I vaguely recall the A.N.A. mentioning the use of these kind of add-on signs to a grade in thier book but don't recall what the opinon was and my copy of the book is packed away for now because or some painting going on in my house. I awlays remove my coin library and so on from my shelves when I have workers and others in. And my copy is peobebly 30 some years old with grey and..red or blue hard cover?

Best,
Eric

notwilight · March 26, 2010 2:47PM

When we do 'guess the grades' we usually get at least a 4 grade span on the guesses. So you think we will ever be able to look at a photograph and give you an accurate opinion within a single grade? --Jerry

truthteller · March 26, 2010 3:03PM

Does this quarter have enough eye appeal to receive a + sign.

The coin is very pleasant and will sell for a premium. If you crack it out, it may get an MS66 "+" or an MS65 "+" or stay the same grade. You have a big downside though. If the coin does not come back plus, you will lose the incentive for an upgrader to pay more since the label will have the shield. In addition, you may end up having an MS65+ where it will be locked in that grade for all eternity. Or, it will stay the same grade with the shield, again locked in that grade for all eternity. Your gamble is 1 out of 4.

TRUTH

metalmeister · March 26, 2010 3:31PM

Personally , I would keep it in the 66 holder.
Probably looks nicer in hand.

Could this 1932 quarter get a + sign
