Hello, I don't find many quarters in Rome and most are heavily circulated or cleaned; this one ( one of less than half a dozen) was worth a second look. Any thoughts on grade would be appreciated in helping me learning Washington quarters. Best, R.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Larger and brighter pics would help. No feel for detail or luster here.

They still do not show surface detail or luster.  Edited by Coinfrog

Looks slightly worn, with luster diminished from friction. Should grade AU-something.
The common 1957-D quarter trades at a bullion-related price in circulated grade. This one would likely be priced around $5.00 here in the USA.

Looks like an AU-58, but photos are not large enough or bright enough to tell for sure.

Thank you everyone. I find a decent amount of American coins here, both pre-65 and random pocket change. The prices are all over the place. Morgan dollars run about 30 Euro; Peace dollars the same. I bought two '64 Kennedys and a '37 Liberty Half for 6.95 each yesterday, but also saw a clad Eisenhower dollar, '68 Kennedy, and no-date Buffalo nickel in a lot for 30 Euro. I also find bags of post - 65 change . . . often at stupid prices, ie 3 X face. Edited by Roma2021

@Roma. Sarebbe mio piacere per ti aiutar'ci. I will switch to English for the best of this community. You have an normal Type A RDV-001. The coin show is UN. A few knots on the rims due to transport and bags. The 1957-D is characterized by a weak strike. What it is funny is: You has the Observe of 1945 Design (common for this year) but you has the Reverse of the anvil from 1932 to 1938. Interesting. A boric acid boiled will bring back the luster and please no polishing.
I will say for here in N. America MS62-63.in Italy "Fior del Conio"

well, I would be visiting that store on regular basis...like every day the second coin photos are a little small. try this when taking them. 1. turn off flash 2. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day 3. move phone about 3in from coin 4. zoom in using you fingers until the coin comes into focus 5. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin at that distance and lay phone on top. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring this one looks UNC. without larger photos and a little more clear it could be AU58 or MS63/64 |

2nd coin is virtually flawless as far as it's condition goes . Grade wise In my opinion is a 64+ . The coin is clean as can be ; Breast feathers are right up there ,wing tips don't get much better same with tail feathers . The only issue might be his hair might be a little weak but that's not from wear ; It does not alter grade .  |

Thank you all again. I think the first coin will go in my quarter roll... The second in a capsule as my type set coin.
What are UN coins?
