1923 S Standing Liberty Quarter Grade Requested

I'm at VF20.

there are quite a few scratches on the left side of the obv. and through the body. if they are on the coin they do not look they are all in the same direction which is a plus and may rule out a harsher type cleaning. TPG's may be lenient on this due to the date but would probably net it down if they don't details it.

if you are seeing the pinkish coloring on both sides, like the photos are showing, this may indicate an old cleaning. it could be lighting, it could be photos altering the surfaces a little so again an in-hand assessment is needed. it definitely has retoned if it was in fact cleaned

I'm not sure i'd buy her raw unless I could return it

If I am a buyer of the coin having to grade it through the plastic, I am not paying over F12 price. The coin has an upside of getting into a TPG holder at VF20, but hard to tell with the white scratches that appear to be on the plastic. The example has had an old cleaning, but is it market acceptable to get a straight grade?

I posted the wrong one also. Here is a VF-25 23-S from PCGS. I'm revising my grade down to VF-25.

IGE - no, just off photograde. they don't distinguish types in photograde

OP - your coin appears to be between F and VF. All depends what it looks like in hand, who's grading it and what day it is.

DOCC - I think from the 1917 T-2 up thru 1924 they are graded a little more loosely. The 1921 and 1923 coins are particularly "awful". It's tough to find uniform and appealing coins for this series. Buy em when you find em!
