1924-P Standing Liberty Quarter

Is this coin slabbed or raw?

quite a disparity between the sides on this coin. typically a TPG would grade a coin using the weakest side. I tend to grade a coin that there is a difference by either net grading the coin if its close or go with the obverse. this one is so far apart that I am going with the obverse instead of net grading it.

AU55 - the lettering and stars are pointing to the AU bracket. the shield weakness is fairly common.

Talk about a night and day difference between sides. I'd say a net grade of AU-50, to be safe. I certainly wouldn't pay more than an AU-50 price for it.

Mismatched die states. The reverse is LMDS, bordering on LDS, and the obverse is at least EMDS. The strike is average, and a bit uneven. That suggests that it may have been struck on a knuckle press rather than a vertical press. There is more evidence of die clashing and clash polishing on the reverse than the obverse. The obverse polishing is limited to the shield, head, and a bit on the right leg. The few dings are consistent with an AU coin. My lone hesitation is the mark from the eagle's neck to the "A" of DOLLAR. I can't tell if that is a clash mark, die crack, or scratch, so I'm disregarding it here. I would grade this one primarily from the obverse, and see it as a solid AU-55.
