nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 12/16/2009 2:06 pm How would you grade this 1908 Quarter? Also, I've got a free submission to PCGS - Do you think that this coin would be graded by them considering the nicks on the rim (obverse) and the light scratch on the neck and face?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/16/2009 6:12 pm I would grade this coin at VF-20, it looks like it was harshly cleaned at one point. I would save the free submission for a better coin. Report this Post to the Staff

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 12/17/2009 12:02 pm Thanks for your replies. I know it is not a top money coin or anything. Without the problems, I think it would grade vf-35 or xf-40. I'm trying to put together a lower end registry set of Barber quarters and I would be content with it grading either vf or xf. When I collect a series, I also like to get slabbed examples of all the grades. So that is why I was considering submitting this coin. I don't want to waste my free submission with a Genuine holder so I'll probably look for a different coin to submit. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/17/2009 12:45 pm I would concur with your VF35/EF40 assessment but the surfaces just look oddly dull. Does the coin look better in hand? With that thin scratch and the few black spots, I would be afraid that PCGS would be too eager to bring down the "Genuine" hammer on you because it is such a common coin. If it were one of the key dates, I am sure they would slab with a grade. Report this Post to the Staff
