I was thinking of bidding on this coin on ebay, but let me know what you guys think. In a PCGS holder. What do you think the grade might be?  |

Trying to post a pic of the Rev, but I keep going in circles. Can't get to the correct screen . . . . . .  |

OK, maybe I got it. I was clicking on the upload text, not the little green camera.   |

Looks like ol' George lost a few battles, scarred up like that.
And the eagle has seen better days as well.
I didn't bid on it, it sold a little while ago. No regrets.
Anybody else want to play before the reveal?

MS 63. I agree the obverse is a bit marked up. I wouldn't be surprised at MS62.

Drumroll . . . . . MS66 Really! And someone paid $237.55 for it! It's a 61-D for crying out loud. Even if it were all the way to MS64 it is only worth $14.00 or so. I was sniping at it for $24.00 on the off chance that it were close to the 66 and somehow the photo lies. $237.55 I'm not understanding this one AT ALL.  I did trace it over to a Heritage Auction. Their photo does look better, all the hits are not nearly as evident.  Edited by Jon K

Before I saw the grade, I was going to guess MS-64. IMO, it's overgraded and looks a bit worse than another PCGS slabbed Washington quarter that was posted by another forum member which everyone though was overgraded. |

Wow I'm surprised a coin with so many little nicks could make 66. Maybe there is some hope for my coins after all  |

Reminds me of all of the "Omaha Hoard" coins that are floating around out there. These are ALWAYS 1 to 2 points too high on grade.

$220 per pcgs
$161 per Heritage (6/24/2003)
Somebody must have wanted it real bad.

Numismedia has it @ $150.00 in 66
That is the one I usually use . . . .

There is NO way that thing would grade at even the Gem level, let alone as a 66! This must have been the last one on December 24th..after the Christmas party eggnog was handed out. Honestly.........

those 60s issues tend to look bad and this one is frosty- but I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it. not even close. I wouldn't even send that in for grading.
