thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 5:36 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 5:58 pm Ok, I will try and take more directly on. Working with a phone camera it's hard to get it to focus. Brb :) Report this Post to the Staff
thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 6:08 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 6:49 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 7:37 pm That puts a smile on my face you guys. I was hoping you would say MS65 or better. Picked this beauty up for 240US :) Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 7:40 pm 65. BEAUTIFUL COIN! Get it slabbed, wow! Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 8:06 pm 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? ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 8:09 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
