I need a Standing Liberty quarter for my 20th Century Type set. I've been looking at many and I want to know what your think of a full head (FH) in one grade lower than a non full head in one grade higher. The reason I'm asking is because I'm leaning for at certified Full head version in MS 61 verses a MS 62 without the full head rating. Thanks in advance for your comments |

Matter of personal preference . What ever means more to you. Your not talking about going from A 61 to A 64 . SO only you have to decide that question. every one else will have their own preference.

IMO skip the grades MS-60, -61 and -62.
Go for at least MS-63
OR
Find an AU-58.

Since you are going with a TPG, probably NGC or PCGS, I'd advise taking a look at the census for the Standing Liberty series from both of them first. You will be able to see, date and mm specific, which examples are easiest to find in FH and which ones the toughest, too. You might also find that there really isn't a huge difference in price between the 60-62 range and a full 63, as suggested above. I'd ditto that advise to either go with a 63 or a nice 58. In order for a coin to be graded 60, 61, or 62, there is usually some bangs and bings which are visible to the naked eye and will be distracting. |

If you get one and you want it in higher MS condition then get a date after 1924. Before 1924 the dates are horrible and you pay for good dates and heads like crazy. I lack only the 1916 for my set. I am just not that keen on spending $7000 for a coin with a readable date.

Keen today perhaps not, but someday you will probably do it, and it will be the pride of your collection.

You are a wise frog. I will get it done. I won't attempt another set like the LSQ's for a long time. Paying maybe $500 for a coin is one thing on a retiree's bank account, but spending $7500 is another. There is just no way I am going to get that coin in the condition I want for less than $7500-9000 bucks. They do say that a LSQ with a readable date is considered in good condition, but not for the ones before 1925. Sometimes you don't get a good strong date even in EF condition all things being equal. All else is good but the date is weak. I hate that! I have no one to blame but myself because I knew what is was going to cost before I started collecting, but wanted to impress myself with taking on a tough set to collect. I am impressed with my dumbness.

Go for a Full Head coin in MS63, with original surfaces and nice eye appeal.
