What is your opinion on this coin? What would you grade it?  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by Adiw 09/04/2022 2:24 pm

I am leaning toward the example being a counterfeit, some of the issues could be photo quality. The following is what I do not like about the coin: 1) Softness of strike on obverse around bench. 2) All the letters in STATES have notches at the base. 3) The base of the O in OF looks off. 4) The C in AMERICA look off. 5) Three possible large cast bumps between DOLLAR and AMERICA 6) Soft strike on Eagle's right claw.
If you do not own the coin, pass.

Thanks, I'll pass any way as it is already going for over 300 USD

A few things looked off but without weight & coin in hand I am still not 100% sure it is counterfeit. But would stay away.
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

The possible casting bubbles on the reverse are suspicious, agree this should be avoided if you are depending on these photos.

My initial reaction was fake. Good one to pass on.

Doesn't look quite right. Either fake or heavily polished.
