My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 09:18 am I'm simply trying to get a grasp of the quality diffrence on certain years of minted coins. Found this in circulation, was surprised at the condition of it. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 09:53 am This to me looks like an XF-45/AU-50 at the best possible grade, since I can see the eagles breast feathers. Also look at the rim to see if it is a clad composition, if not, then it would be the very rare 1965 quarter struck on a 90% silver planchet valued at several thousand, and would have a different color than clad ones. Now yours is likely a clad composition since this is the first year for them and strike is probably a little different than for silver ones. Still a nice one from circulation.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 11:16 am Just looking at the breast detail I'd have to say AU-50, though the rest of the coin sure doesn't look it. Report this Post to the Staff

Skeletonwizard8 Valued Member United States 162 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 12:43 pm I agree, probably VF 35 range Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 3:50 pm Well thank you very much for everybody's opinions. That actually helped me understand a little bit more about the grading process and the thought that goes into it. All I can say about grade is that this 65 quarter looks beautiful compared to the rest of them that I've seen. It even has a little shine left to it still. Definitely yes it's worn in certain spots for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
