Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 5:53 pm Hi everyone, I just rescued this 1912 quarter from a melt bucket today. However, I'm not 100% sure as to the grade. Would you say (US) fine or very fine? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 7:13 pm F15 details. Amazing what people consider scrap around the world. Always surprised at what turns up in junk bins and melt buckets in other countries. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 7:24 pm Alan & SHAFTA9a & AgHoarder - thanks for the input! I'm still a bit on the fence since you guys are still a bit across the board in terms of F to VF. :-) AgHoarder - Yeah! I'm just amazed at what I've found in my local dealers' buckets over the past couple of decades. I'm still kicking myself for a few coins I've seen but did not pick up out of ignorance (at the time) of their scarcity. (In fact, just a couple of months ago I didn't grab a Canadian 1932 Half Dollar in VG) Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 10:42 pm Thanks for the help, everyone! So we are presently tied: 3 at F15 & 3 at VF20. Will the tie be broken? Edited by Archraz 01/31/2017 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 7:49 pm Tough one, F15 net. Sort of a VF20 slider, but those scratches. 105 year old coin book value upwards of $25 US, seems like a good rescue to me! Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 5:38 pm @kbbpll and @coinfrog Net grading is an Americanism Canadian coins are traditionally graded by technical grade only, net grade, market grade and factoring in eye appeal are all US traditions being forced down our throat by US interests. Also grades such as VF25 and 35 are not used in the Canadian grading scale "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/02/2017 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
