I found this quarter the other day, and I was wondering what you all thought it's grade would be. I put a small red mark above a scratch that didn't show up well on the scan. Also, the scanner made a shadow on the coin, which is why it appears toned. What would you estimate the grade to be by looking at the one side of the coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
