I'm starting to play around with my new macro lens and took these shots of my nicest Barber quarter. What grade do you think PCGS assigned?   |

My best guess is MS-64 looks to have a lot of luster and wouldn't surprise me much to see an MS-65 grade.

I usually don't try to grade MS coins as it's high enough to have to be in hand for me to be able to guess. With that caveat, I'll go w/ MS63 to MS64 with MS64 being what I would grade it at from what I see in the photos. Very nice pics, with a very nice job of catching the luster without it being a hotspot. My photos pale by comparison.

I'll go with MS64. The glare on the coin makes it much tougher to interpret.

Most posters nailed it at MS-64. In general CCF graders are tough, often coming in a point or three below PCGS. Maybe I can eventually extrapolate a pattern to help decide if a particular coin is PQ for the assigned grade.  |
