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.

Thanks everyone!

thanks FC. I was really scratching my head on the difference in the sides of this coin. that makes total sense. when I did some research on the year it did not come back with any issues at the mint nor did it return anything about dies being switched out. makes all the sense in the world now and will aid in looking more closely at coins that have such disparity between the sides. added to the knowledge base for future reference

Yep, I'll go with AU53
