I agree, since there's wear, scratches on the Obv and and pits/chips/dings on the Rev. DO NOT have that graded.

It is a details coin worth bullion. Grade would be irrelevant.
Bullion value today would be $8.70.

Too late guys, I have had it graded because of XRF results but wanted an evaluation of your thoughts. I will say that if it wasn't 80% it would not have been done.

So it cost more to have it graded than what the coin is worth.
Also 1968 quarters are 50% silver, not 80%.

I don't know why you're asking us to guess the grade.
Grade is inconsequential, it's the attribution of this coin that matters.
80% 1968 quarters do exist, this is not the first one posted.

I have had this coin for approximately 2 1/2 years knowing that it was 80% by a sigma metallics coin verifier. Found an XRF machine at a pawnshop and their machine confirmed it. No third party grader in Canada had the capability of verifying and encapsulating it until someone posted their 80% quarter 2 weeks ago graded by SSGC. Somebody then questioned their credibility so I decided to send mine in. I called and mentioned that I had an 80% with a bad scratch that might make it ungradable but would like it encapsulated with the XRF findings and I got it back with a grade assessment. I am not experienced in grading and therefore would like other opinions on this coin before I show it encapsulated and influence any judgement.

That's very nice Beekeeper, it sounds to me like you have a Mint Error - Wrong Planchet error, I would definitely grade such a coin. Can't wait to see it graded.

The coin has no eye appeal even graded what would you pay for it, 40 to 50 bucks to grade with shipping, usually coins under 400 bucks are not worth grading, just sell it raw with proof but each to their own

SSGC has virtually no credibility in the marketplace, that means your coin, effectively, is still ungraded. Reputable sellers and many not so reputable ones would not list a SSGC item for sale as a graded coin. Contact ICCS or CCCS to have your coin graded if you have the supporting documentation.
