ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 6:58 pm It's been a while since I've posted a coin for grading or even thought about grading. Took a break from sorting the family stash-- got way behind on other adult responsibilities, lol. This evening I was craving a peek at some coins and took a look at my small personal stash. I hadn't really looked at this Barber quarter before. Like all of our coins, it's seen action. I like the 'circulation cameo' look of this one. I guess it will be a details grade because of the unfortunate obverse scratches :( What net grade would you give this? (and howdy, matthewvincent-- I cannot look at a Barber coin without thinking of you) Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 5:51 pm At least VF-20 IMO, although that long, shallow obverse scratch may qualify as damage. Surfaces may be slightly granular (possibly from environmental exposure) but overall look market-acceptable. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 10:18 am Ahem, good to know I made an impression, ThisIsFun! This is a VF all day long. And since it is scarce in this grade, the scratch doesn't matter TOO much. It is well struck for New Orleans, notorious for lousy strikes. All Barber quarters should have such a nice reverse. (Were that it were so, sigh...) I'd go VF-25 or 30 for VF-20 money. Link to write-up: http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index...ysis-1898-o/ Report this Post to the Staff
