I've seen them sell online in mint state, just curious if this has worth. Notice the reeds are very prominent and show from above. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 11:12 am I don't mind keeping something like that, although I do not think it can be called mint state. Mint state does not equal shiny! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 11:14 am There is also a scratch on the obverse. (hair to rim) That would take it down to AU grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 11:20 am I would agree with an AU grade on this quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
Smilewastaken Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 2:44 pm I wasn't suggesting this coin is mint state at all, just pointing out that I've seen 1965 quarters selling online that were in mint state, therefore I noted there's some sort of a market for them. I see that line from the hair that you're nothing but when I went back with the loupe to view it, I can't find it under 40x magnification, so not sure what that is unless it's from taking pic through the loupe. I did find a small die clash between the 1 & 9 from the neck down to the 1. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 4:06 pm It's worth keeping simply because it is rare to find any coin that's 50 years old in decent condition actually in circulation. It is not worth keeping if you are hoping it is worth much more than a quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 4:40 pm Careful. Cigar boxes with coins in them seem to breed, even if you only have one! Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 7:36 pm I'd keep it. As noted, finding a 50 yo specimen in AU or better is a keeper in my book. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
