I'm still waiting on the arrival of this 1901 Barber quarter. Seller's photos. It was popped from a 1960s Whitman's deluxe album. Let me know what you think of it ....and give it a grade   |

That toning is gorgeous! I wish I had an overlay for Barber quarters. Something raised on the middle of the neck and at the back of the neck. It definitely looks raised based off that picture. Thanks for sharing. EE |

I think it will make the mint state cut. If there is rub on the high points and/or in the fields it's not at all obvious. Toning looks original and adds eye appeal. The hits on the shield are the most serious negatives and would limit the grade. I'd go MS-63 on this one, maybe with a star to reflect the very nice appeal.

Very attractive toning on this one!

I'm at MS-62. I like the toning, but it's hard to tell from the photos whether the dark toning around the date is approaching terminal toning.

I'm on the fence, AU58/MS62. Great looking coin!

AU55 could be a MS62 if the rotation under a bright lamp reveals no wear on the high points.

Au55. My first thought was old cleaning and retoned. I guess I'm alone here but not a fan of this one.

Nice looking coin. I am going to say AU55 as the images do show some wear on the obverse and fields. This coin would look good raw in a type set album!
