1930-S Standing Liberty Quarter, Your Thoughts On Grade.

Slammin' MS65 stunner.

I did some searching today and found when, where, and from who this coin was purchased by the current seller. He got most of his SlQ's from one seller over a course of 2 years. I was able to compare some of the original sellers photo's to the new sellers photo's. They look enhanced. I could only find the current photo's (last 2 months) anything older I can only view the item description. The original seller had accurate descriptions and good photo's.

Here is an example, from the original seller. 1925 Standing 25c nice uncirculated detail! FREE shipping, NEVER tax!! (#331691520146)



Now here is the same coin, from the current seller.




Now back to the coin I purchased...

Here is the original description of the coin when it was sold over 1 1/2 years ago.

Wow! Superb GEM detail 1930-s 25c! LUSTER+++ FREE shipping, NEVER tax!! (#231223252848)

I can't look up the Item number (too old) even tried worth point. I have no idea what the cost was but my feeling it is a cleaned coin.

The moral of the story, if it is too good to be true it probably is.

I will wait to get the coin in hand and then post pics here.

Thanks IndianGoldEagle, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I Received the coin today. Very strong luster on obverse and reverse. The coin has a small stain on the reverse on the eagle's right wing, not bad but I don't know if that warrants a details grade?

No signs of hairlines or dipping/cleaning...just the light spot/stain/

Overall I like the coin, what do you guys and gals think?

Coinfrog, I will get a close up of that area tomorrow, the coin is back at my work. yes, it is the wing facing you on the left.

Close up of the reverse stain on the coin. looks like a little fleck of metal in the center of the stain.

I don't like that fleck of raised material inside the stain. I think it's a details coin at this point and if it were me I would be returning it.

Edit to add - Looking at your photo and the seller's photo side by side I'm convinced the seller's auction photo was photo shopped to hide the extra metal. All details appear very similar except this anomaly.

The coin is off to ANACS along with another MS 1946 DDR Walking Liberty half.

I decided to keep the 30-s quarter since I have a buyer who has seen it in hand and will pay me what I paid, if it comes back MS details. If it comes back graded non details I will keep it.

fingers crossed, and I will post photo's when it comes back.
