I recently picked up this quarter and need some help figuring out the grade. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to grading. I would say this is in the vg range but don't know if it should be lower because the date is almost all gone (only part of the last "1" is all that remains). Is that acceptable on a raised date slq because the dates on these wore much faster than on the recessed date slqs? One more question....as you can see in the pics, there is some black crud around the rim. is there a safe way to try to remove this or should I just leave it be? Any info is appreciated!   |

I'd call it g/vg with a partial date.
As far as the carbon spot toning goes I'd leave it alone.
It is what it is!

Welcome to CCF. These coins had a raised, exposed date that wore out very quickly. As a result, SLQs minted prior to 1925 are graded based on the condition of the date regardless of the condition of the rest of the coin. This one is between good 4 and 6.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks everyone for the input! I'm excited to add this one to my collection. Is this one I should send in for grading at some point?

Not worth cost of grading, get VF/EF at minimum 1916 or 17.  |

Not worth cost of grading This is a $150 to $200 coin and one of the key dates for the series. If it comes back in a full grade holder from NGC or PCGS, add $50 to that price, and another $50 if CAC likes it. It's absolutely worth the $20-$30 to get it graded.
