Hey all,

Hoping to get your thoughts on the grade of this quarter eagle. It looks to me like a very nice piece. The obverse looks stunning. It does have a mark on the reverse on the right side near the eagles wing, which appears like a long hairline of sorts. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I will try and take more directly on. Working with a phone camera it's hard to get it to focus. Brb :)

Hopefully these are a little better. I can't seem to get the camera to focus with anything closer. Think it may be time to buy a decent camera.

Sorry, still unable to grade. If you are using almost any digital camera, you should have a close-up setting and an adjustable close-up zoom feature with preview.

I'd wager an MS-66. 65 minimum. I like it.
Rest in Peace

It looks mid-MS and likely at least 64 but the pics are small and not of high enough resolution to accurately grade beyond that. My guess from the images would be MS65 and certainly a bargain at $240. Have you weighed it and confirmed the diameter?

I'm going to see if I can possibly get some larger pictures BH. Weight is right, but scared to get my calipers anywhere near it lol.
