 This is a nice looking quarter showing die polishing lines. |

Nice find 2x2 worthy. Having a fuller strike on the drum is hard to find. John1  |

How can one tell if a coin has been cleaned? Is it cause it's still shiny and not tarnished
This coin is the way I found it inside a roll of quarters. Do it look like someone cleaned it and turned it into the bank?

Not sure why someone said what they did about graders would say it was cleaned, but it would not have appeared to have been cleaned, maybe because of the die abrasions.... Anyway, when a coin has been cleaned, it will have an unnatural look of color, or have scratches in a way you can tell it was improperly handled after it has left the mint. This, like many other things you will pick up in time, will be more apparent and easily seen. -makecents-

I agree it doesn't look to be cleaned from these photos.

I'm still learning the finer points to spotting cleaned coins, but this one has no obvious indications of cleaning. It just looks like a nice coin. To which I might add: don't clean it with anything, polish it with anything, or get fingerprints on it. Handle it by the edge from now on, and keep it in a folded piece of paper or cloth until it can be put into a flip or capsule (if that is your wish).

Thanks for the advice on how to handle a coin. When I pulled it from the $10 roll, it looked special due to its condition so I photographed it. I then wrapped it in its paper roll and just set it aside till I got home from my trip to Kansas City where I found it. Just been trying to be careful with it since I acquired it. I'm learning more about this coin each day. I had no idea that it had a full struck drum till it was posted here. I hadn't noticed that before.
I'll order some coin flips and transfer it to a better place.
I have been thinking about sending it in to have it graded. I've never done that before and will need to read more about how to go about doing that. I've been reading that it may not be worth sending these bicentennial quarters in since so many of them have been graded below an MS67 and really are not worth much.

Although it is a nice find, I do not think it is worthy of sending it in. As a general rule a coin needs a minimum retail value of $150 to justify all costs involved in slabbing it. John1 |

Not even close to slabbing. If you think you have a coin worth slabbing, don't. Wait a few months till you learn more about coins. I guarantee you will save money. |
