My first thought was MS-64 but I am going to hedge my bet at MS-63. Beauty.

64 makes sense but with NGC a 65 wouldn't surprise me. Beautiful coin.

I'll guess MS-64. Nice coin! Errers and Varietys.

That die crack is on many 1876 quarters on both the obverse and reverse. Wonderful die crack. MS-64. There look to be partial digits in the denticles under the date. I haven't seen different stages for this die crack. If anyone has a photo of an earlier stage I'd love to see it. Btw, there is also a different die crack that goes around the entirety of the peripheral of the reverse on some 1876 quarters. 1876 quarters have a lot going on with their die cracks, their misplaced dates in the denticles for all mintmarks, repunched dates, Type I and Type II reverses...and not to forget the different placements of the cc mintmarks for this date.

Wow that's a nice one. Nice sharp strike. I'd say 65 and with that spot it's probably 63 but I'll say 64 it's just a nice coin.

I agree with most at MS 64.

A "cracking" coin! Without having a good look at the surfaces, I'm guessing MS-63.

I'm with NS at MS-63. Very nice-looking example and cool cracks. Right obverse field and reverse spot holds this from a 64.

On the fence between a 63-64. There's arguments in both directions.
I think that if I were going to put my money on the table that money would be MS63 money.

As usual the CCF graders have a good handle on current grading standards. The MS-63 grade seems fair given the various ticks and fine scratches and possible old dipping. The diffuse patch of discoloration near 1:00 on the reverse may also have limited the grade. Thanks for the feedback!  |
