westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 01:34 am MS63 I think, looks dipped as so many coins like this were in the 80's & 90's probably grades straight, the scratch by the head is keeping me from going higher.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 10:06 am thanks Adam for your insight on the field mark. that was my first thought but wasnt sure. when there are no other issues on the coin in the way of marks this is usually the actual cause Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 11:07 pm Results: I think I'm in agreement with the grade, I agree the coin has been dipped but it's still got plenty of luster. As others have pointed out, the only major distraction I can find is the scratch behind the head. I will admit that it is quite distracting. All considered, this particular coin is very very tough to find in 65 and above. I'd consider this to be a lower-mid range example of the grade, but a good pick if you desire a fully white coin with strong luster. On the other hand, a coin with more original surfaces and color would hide most distracting flaws pretty well on an arrows + rays quarter, which already has busy devices that lend themselves to that end.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 11:29 pm Very nice. The dipping was done right. It's not over-dipped and the remaining luster is strong. I agree with the Gem grade. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 02:33 am Stunning coin. Love the arrows and rays. 65 was my guess too before I saw the slab posted and honestly the full slab picture makes it look even better. Congrats on a superb acquisition! Report this Post to the Staff
