I'm not sure if it's authentic (I wrote earlier thinking it was a "D", but I'm not sure about the "S" diagnostics). If it's real, this either came out of some poor dude's collection by an idiot who spent it or it's part of a coin dealer publicity stunt that could have been awhile ago.

 Maybe this picture is a little better, I have taken it to 2 dealers, so hopefully if it was a fake, one of them would have been able to tell. Along with this coin the customer paid with a 1929 Federal Reserve of Minneapolis $50 Bill that I have. I pointed out what he was giving me but the bottle of liquor was more important to him. I had set the qrts on the counter he had given me and hadn't even paid attention to them because I was looking at the $50, when I went to put them in the till was when I noticed they sounded different. Thats the story of my quarter. Fishnwidow |

hunter20ga You do not ever have to worry about any one scoffing at you on this forum, I have found that even if I make a guess and I am wrong, I will gain free hard to come by info from it , so say all the wrong guess's or info you want , becuase you stand to either be right or some one will tell us what is right, also everyone here is very friendly and will do their best to lead you in a right direction, and I am sure you can help some of us as well.
Fishnwidow It sure sounds like some ripped off some one, and cashed in the loot, but this may not always be the case.

I got out my older quarters to compare Hunter20ga after you posted your pictures, most of my S's do look like yours cleaner and sharper, but my 1943-S looks identical. Should I be worried it's a fake?
Wouldn't coin dealers have been able to tell?
I'll play with my camera tommorow and see if I can't sharpen up the picture. Thank You everyone for your input.

Fishwindow the used different Serrifs sometimes on the same year so the mintmarks could look different even comparing a 32-s to a 32-s I will look in my breen to seeif there are any mentioned

I did not find anything in the Breen Catalogue however it could be a RPM ( A re-punched Mint mark) Also remember that Mintmarks Used to be put on by hand

I would flip if I just found that in circulation! You're keeping my dream alive of finding a 1909 S VDB in my change at the drive through. :)

Souther yankee...I think your coin helps validate Fishnwidow's quarter. Your "s" is flat across the top, too, even though yours has better definition/less wear. Thanks for posting.

This is an attractive coin that appears to me to be genuine. Despite the minor bagmark on the obverse, I think your coin will easily grade at least EF-45, and will likely go AU-50. Greysheet on this coin is about $210 in EF-40, and only goes to $220 in AU, so you should accept no less than $200 if you decide to sell it.
If you have an offer of $350, I'd advise you to take the money and run!
