OK, I sent off 2 1932D and 1932S Washington quarters, a 1923S SLQ, an 1878S Trade and an 1870CC Seated to ANACS for grading. I am going to post pics and lets see who gets closest to the grade. This would just be for bragging rights as I am not rich enough to get a good prize. And NO, one of the coins is NOT an option.   Oh, the Trade was in an NCS slab (the conservation branch of NCG) but I broke it out for the re grade. Mainly because I just want it in a matching slab with most of the rest of my graded coins. 1)   2)   3)  4)   5)   6)   7)   When I get them back I will post them in the slabs. |

My guesses are: VF-35 F-15 details/cleaned VG-8 details/cleaned based on the obverse VF-30 details/environmental damage AG-3 G-6 VF-35 If we get them right, would all of the coins be an option?  |

OK, I got the report from ANACS. The coins ae being shipped, so I cant say exactly which quarter is which, but here are the grades:
1932D 25C CLEANED 45 DETAILS
1932D 25C CLEANED 20 DETAILS
1932S 25C 50
1932S 25C 3
(ND)S 25C N8
1870CC $ 15
1878S TR$ REVERSE DAMAGED 40 DETAILS
So, the professionals could not determine a date for the SLQ. So time to see if Nic A Date will bring it up.
When I get them I will take pics in the slabs.
And that first 32S did not show well in those pics. It looks a lot lower than in hand.

I wouldn't nic-a-date that 23-s. How in the world could they not determine? The 3 is clear, and the only option is 23-s.

Personally I dont see the 23 either. I see what could be a 3, but it looks more like a random blob to me.

Nic-A-Date will do nothing but leave an ugly black spot on the coin. Won't work on silver.

To me the 3 is clear. I can't the 2, but there is no other SLQ date that ends in 3 (1916-1930). The 3 is a darker color, and the number is the right font/script. Look under the left foot........or to the right where the last digit in the date would be.

Do not nic-a-date it, that will only make it worse. There is a very good reason why it is called Nic-A-Date- it only works on 75/25 CuNi alloy for US coins. As for the SLQ, are you certain that it is an actual 3 and not a patination artifact? If you ever go to a larger regional coin show, look for a table manned by J.H. Cline, he is the the authoritative source for all things SLQ and should be able to tell you whether it truly is a 23-S or not. |

Biokemist, I am of the belief that it is a patination artifact. My wife and others think its a 3. Thanks for the advic on the nic a date. I figured it would at least bring it out a little more. I will have to see if Mr Cline is going to be in the area any time soon. Thanks. :)

I also am appalled that ANACS did not grade that 23-s....which it clearly is. The odds of some foreign matter or scratches making a "3" with that specific shape in that specific location is 10,000 to 1. In addition, the overall level of obverse wear is correct for a 3 of that level of detail. I would resubmit it to them....and include a loupe with your submission.   Edited by johnny54321
