Hidalgo Valued Member United States 189 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 10:57 am This Washington quarter was graded by PCGS as AU58. I cannot see any signs of circulation. What am I missing? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 75250 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 11:39 am Sharper images including closeups of the high points would a good place to start. Edited by Coinfrog 09/30/2022 10:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 2366 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 11:41 am there's discoloration on George's cheek, but from these photos can't tell if that's evidence of circulation Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 26190 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 1:39 pm Can't see in these photos but it most likely has rubbing on the high points. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 13735 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 09:59 am there is a fine line between a high 58 and an MS coin. in some cases you need the coin in hand so that you can rotate in the right light in order to see all the high points. these photos are just too blurry to note that difference. look for missing luster on those high points on the profile. if you look at the wing on the left side it does appear to have some slight wear on it Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 4505 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 10:11 am Even the grading services have difficulty with 58 or 62 , 63 . Many 58 Coins sell for Mint State money . Excellent examples ..Barber Quarters with nice eye appeal in 58 often bring Silly money! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 20610 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 10:17 am Pictures not quite sharp enough to determine if there is no wear on the high points. Look for disturbance of luster in those areas. Edited by sel_69l 10/01/2022 03:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 18470 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 12:46 pm The area in front of the nose looks to have broken luster which can indicate some circulation. Lincoln Cent Lover! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 13735 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 3:58 pm i thought that area in front of the profile could have been lighting reflection but badthad may be correct. try rotating the coin and see if the luster is gone from that area. if you you found your answer Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 4280 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 9:56 pm This coin was circulated. Maybe just in the banks. Front of the nose and also the outside of the rim show this. Steel be a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
