Will this Bust Quarter grade?

Minor hairlines across the obverse and an old gouge behind the cap. What do you think?

    From your pics I'd say it would.

    Genuine, no grade for, among other things, scratches on the obverse.

    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    I say the scratches are grade appropriate and it should make a F slab

    Based on those pics, I think it will grade.

    I would say about 70/30 in favor of grading.

    Toss of a coin, but that really deserves to remain wild.

    I agree< It will grade probably F-12. This clearly has a few regular circulation marks and should have no problem grading if the hairlines are minor and covered with an old toning. IMO

    The coin is almost 200 hunderd years old and it is circulated. Oh my! It has few scratches! We cant have that. image

    Coin condition exists on a continuum.

    I kind of hate that there is a binary grade/"genuine" function in the "industry"

    at least it's better than it used to be: grade/bodybag (but you pay the fee for the opinion either way)

    Anyway, I think the marks are consistent with the wear. Net it to VG10

    Thank you for the grades and comments. She looked like a great deal at $110 and I'm happy with it.

    Plan to send her in and will let you know what happens........

    A little white balance adjustment.

    Those are old scratches that are acceptable for this series.

    Tough call on this one. The gouge behind the cap is definitely noticable but not too bad. I've seen worse in graded TPG slabs but have seen others in "Genuine" slabs due to scratches/surface damage.

    Those marks are quite acceptable for the grade range. Decent piece. I'd much rather have some scattered light scratches than
    obviously cleaned surfaces.
