I sent this Standing Liberty quarter to NGC and got an EF45 grade. I should have known because of the toning and lack of luster. But the grade looks like a AU53 to me with a possible full head. I'm wondering if I were to have them do a conservation on a coin like this if it would get a better grade? What do you all think? Should I pursue something like this to try and get a better grade? I like the coin like it is, but I think I would like it more if it were to have a higher grade. I took the best pictures I could

Ask yourself is it worth it? Is there a dramatic increase in price from xf45 to AU? Greysheet is $195 in xf40 and $250 in AU and $300 ms60. If there was a huge difference then I would go for it. But in this case in my opinion it isn't worth any extra money for no guarantee in a higher grade. I would keep the coin as is because it is a nice coin. Your call your money, but I wouldn't sink any more $ into this coin personally.

The other example has good head detail but weak leg. I would say yours is a strong candidate for AU-53.

Well, I'd keep it as is and chalk it up. A nice coin and holder. Yours looks like it could be a FH, but there is no real premium until you get north of MS61. If you want to sell it, you could always crack it out and take your chances.
