This is another Seated quarter that came from my Grandfathers collection and now resides in my Dansco Album and figured I would share with all of you and see what you all thought the grade may be   |

So we have an AU and an MS.......what is the separation between them? To my untrained eye, the only thing that I can think of is the fact that the field is marked up quite a bit. Is this what the separation is? The raised portions are beautiful and crisp....just wondering.

Maybe the AU camp sees some rub on the thigh. I haven't decided yet as to 58 or 60 (it would be more guess than expertise). Then again, coinguybrian knows his Seated Liberty coins. More opinions needed. Really nice coin! Edit: Just took at look at your stunning 1862. Now I'm with the 55ers, with a shot at 58 due to the reverse. Edited by OneBowl

The lowest I would go on this is AU59 and I am still not convinced it's not MS. Another dandy!

vf/xf WOW! I will admit that I don't know this series well enough to really grade these things but I would have never thought this thing would ever get a VF grade from anyone. Is there different grading scales for Seated coins than there are for Morgans like the EAC grading standards for Large Cent coins? I looked at photograde and both of the Seated quarters I posted look better than the VF-35, XF-40 coins they show on there and I am guessing that is PCGS standards, that is why I ask if there is a different standard for Seated coinage. If these are just VF/XF coins I may need to start looking for upgrades and just put these back in with his other coins I have (I will always keep them as they were my grandfathers) as I have been trying to keep the Dansco album coins at AU-50 minimum |

Luster looks incomplete, so I will vote AU-58.
Beautiful quarter!

I'll echo that no way this is even as low as 45 or 50, full luster. I don't see any outright wear, but some minor sliding around which 'nets' to MS-62 in my opinion.

AU-50/53 I see breaks in the luster on the obverse fields, a sign of light handling, but that could be the lighting too. I don't see this as an MS coin, but it's not far off.
When it was photographed was it in any kind of holder?

no it wasn't in any holder. I know my lighting isn't the best (used just one desk lamp) but as soon as I can get to Charlotte I am going to go to the only ikea around me and get me two of those led lights everyone seems to like so much

Bryan . . I don't think you need to think of upgrading this beauty. I'm still learning the grading part of this hobby, and I will be for quite some time, bit I'm in the camp of the high AU to low MS opinions. This is definitely worthy of residing in your Dansco.
