...I will scrape together enough quarters and dimes to buy it...  What do you think the grade is? TPG in 48. Please do not post TPG grade if you already know. Thanks!   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."

Considering the rarity of this coin I would say a TPG would give it MS62 .  Love the toning . |

I don't think it quite makes MS. I'll go with AU58. Is a very nice and beautiful coin. If I had the means I would love to have it.

I would say MS-65, no Full Head. I don't see a rub on the coin, only small marks.

Bill as I ,respect your assessment on coins , I can't see the shield ,rivets and breast of Eagle pulling a 65 . Can you tell us how you came to this grade . Were all 1916's struck on the weak side ?  |

Agree 65 and just not a sharp strike.

The 1916 Standing Liberty quarters were no where nearly as sharply struck as the 1917-P Type 1 coins. The best ones were not as sharp as the average 1917-P. This one is on the weak side, but I think it will pull a high grade. As for the rivets, you are expecting WAY too much. Very few Type II quaters, minted prior to 1925, have full rivets. I once had a customer who thought that "Full Head" also met full rivets. He won't buy a full head piece that didn't have the rivets. I had to switch he away from a Standing Liberty quarter set because his expectations were too high. |
