Hi, I'm interested in purchasing this ungraded quarter, any opinions on the grade..? Looks at least EF but I'm wondering if it would be hit an AU50 if graded... sorry, these are the only 2 pics available.

A nice VF30
Too much wear for EF
Look at the eyebrow ,the hair, the ribbon where it touches the shoulder, the maltese crosses and diamond shapes in the crown.
On the reverse the center of the crown, the knot of the ribbon and the fine veins of the leaves are all too worn for EF.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I agree with DBM. VF30
Too much wear on hair to grade higher.
There are flat spots with no detail.
