Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 2:45 pm Hi all, I've been looking to improve my US grading skills after collecting world coins for quite a few years. US grading seems ultra strict and it is much easier to lose than to win. Went to a local coin shop and basically said to myself that I wouldn't get anything unless I felt it was very nice. I'm originally from California, so I collect San Francisco mint coins, usually. I ended up with this 1952-S quarter. Please let me know what you think of the grade and about anything I might have missed. Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 3:45 pm Thanks for the opinions so far. 65 and 67 are pretty far apart. Maybe I can at least end up splitting the difference at a 66? T-BOP, what do you mean "LDS on reverse"? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 8:49 pm VERY nice choice! It has a couple small marks, but overall nothing too distracting. The only thing I don't like about it is that spot on the obverse below "In God We Trust". Overall, it's a very nice piece. Congrats! MS-66 Report this Post to the Staff
