I believe I posted this coin over a year ago with poor images. I am hoping these are better. I purchased this coin a couple years ago, I can't remember what I paid but I remember it was relatively cheap for one for these at the time. I originally intended to get this coin graded but after some thought I decided to try and start a commemorative type set. But have had some difficulty tracking down a dansco 7094..


I've been collecting for a couple years (2017). Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set: "knowledge is power" -Thomas Jefferson | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

Nice, original coin that looks like it hasn't been messed with.

64'ish

Looks like old envelope toning and agree it has an original look to it. I would guess 64 as well.

I must not be wearing my "good eyes" as I see a nice AU coin with original surfaces (vs. MS-64).

Nice Coin...

I see what Could be seen as Wear, Obverse and Reverse. I also see a Strong BU Coin. I do NOT see Any Mis Handling, Original Luster, Not Cleaned.

It has a Very Strong Strike, Rim has Slight detractions, or so it appears, Denticles are Awesome, Crisp Too, I will say the coin shown has a MS-65, IMO.

Lack of apparent luster is a minus here.

My eyes see light signs of wear - so I'm at AU with original surfaces.

We'll need the OP with coin in hand to confirm any rub - look closely at the central jewel in the crown and the point where the thread crosses the spinners thigh.

Here are some additional photos. The first set of 2 were shot in lower light & the second 2 are a fairly accurate representation of in-hand. The coin has a darker tone but has strong luster.

Even with the new pics I'll still go with my original "64" designation.

Nice coin!

I'm not going to agree with the consensus. It's a great looking coin but I see wear on the high points. I'm at AU58.

I looked at mine and compared it to yours. Mine is graded MS63 and doesn't have the rubs on the high points like yours. I like the toning on yours though.

I checked again and I'm still at AU58. I see more details on the hand, hair and the kneeling women. In hand if those details are missing I would even go down to AU 55. Maybe it's the not sharp pictures but I don't see this as ms 64.

Well, Thanks Jakes Coins, People are seeing Differing Views, I Enjoy Your Sharing, Some do not see Luster, Some see an AU+ Coin..... I Too have THIS Commemorative, like Others, and See Small Details on Mine, Not Graded, NOT seen In the OP'S Pictures.... I have seen what appears to be Rub or Wear, After Much Research, only to find a POOR Strike..... Thanks, Mike...

The Denticles and Lettering are Crisp!!!! Obverse Head Dress and Body Jewelry All Very Clear and Very Intact!!!


Ps, May I suggest, That the OP Having the Coin In Hand Would Lend Thought and Weight, to the Opinion With THIS Coins Appearances......
