1916 and 1917 LSQ's are notorious for having "grainy" surfaces. It kinda goes with the territory. (The early Walking Liberty half dollars can look similar, too.). I just think your quarter has been dipped one time too many and it has impaired luster. It may have visited the grading services a few times already and found it's way back home in a body bag or in a holder that the submitter wasn't happy with. However, if YOU like it, and are ok with what you paid for it, is really all that matters. |

Agree with frog ,
This needs to be submitted .
Quite frankly ,not sure this is
real .Far too grainy for what you normally
encounter . Suspect , cast counterfeit is
a real possibility.

Send her off to get graded.

Opinions have ranged from dipped too many times and having dead luster with a likely details grade with MS61 at best, to being seriously suspect of being fake. If the best of those is the result, then I break even. If the worst happens then I'm out a lot. I was hoping for an MS64 when I bought it but thought the surface way too grainy to be legitimate upon receipt, and I guess I was right. I think my best course of action is to return the coin. BTW the weight is 6.25 grams. I've got an AU 1917 type 1 with much smoother surfaces that has way more luster. Guess I'll be happy with that (I'll put that up for opinions later). This coin collecting is tough. Any opinions from you guys on how much this coin is worth?

If you send in for grading, the coin most likely will come back details altered surfaces. Return the coin to seller for a refund.

There is a much nicer looking PCGS UNC detail cleaned coin that sold on ebay recently for $270. Thr grainy nature of this coin is not attractive, I would not pay half that for this one. Just my amateur opinion. Edited by adam126402

Here is mines surface to compare Not the best of pics  If you think you got it for a good price even if it details you should keep it. Otherwise maybe best to send it back.  Edited by Moniker

I've been working on a book the last month or so which is taking a lot of my time so I haven't been on as much as i'd like. I'll take a quick look at your other one. talk about the difference a photo can make... using the new photos I'm going with AU58 or MS62. straight I found a 1930 you posted but had commented on that one.

Thanks for all the useful comments. Based on them and the fact that the rough surfaces weren't appealing astetically, I have decided to return it to seller. He said he was actually selling it for someone else who got it in a collection from Boston. His explanation on the rough surfaces were that they were due to worn out dies. It sure had nice details though.
