1940 S Quarter For Grading Opinions

With frog. I'm guessing it will have finger prints pretty soon

Thanks for the opinions.

For fingerprints, I saw someone make that comment before on another of my posts. I need to learn. I only ever hold the coins by the edge with fingers in a situation like this, when I need to get good photos. Never fingers to the surfaces or coin in my palm. I generally wash my hands before doing so, too, so they're clean and dry. I thought that was okay. Should I just always wear gloves? Is that what most people do?

As for the grades, would anybody like to elaborate on why so low? The surface is pretty free of marks. I am worried about one spot, though, the very high cheek, just to the right and below the eye. Do people have similar worries or is another spot a limiting factor?


Thanks for the thoughts.

I'm sorry but this just doesn't look like an MS coin to me . AU-58 .
