I found this quarter in a baggie labeled "pirate treasure" That my grandfather left me. Was riding in the glove boxer of my older beater for years. Never really looked at it. It's in a plastic case. I'm not sure how to take it out of it or whether or not I should But it appears to be as an MS69 or MS70, and looks like it's a DDO and DDR. I can see doubling on both sides. Been watching videos on identifying and what it could possibly be. Please help. I hope I just found what I think I did. WHat are recommendations? Please advice   |

Best to take it out of the case if you want grade estimates.  to the CCF! |

And...there are currently no known varieties (DDO's or DDR's) with FS designations for the proof silver Bi-Centennial. Quote:

I agree. Remove it from the case and take new pictures.
Errers and Varietys.

Use proper hand protection for handling your coins. Just a reminder.  |

And fyi. There were quite few coins there I'll ask for advise on as well. Plus I've always threw my old change in a jar And have it to go through from last 20yrs. I found some interesting pieces if I'm understanding the videos I've watched. Lincoln cents,68DD, 69S, 69D DD 70 DD, 72 DD, 74 DD
And there's more. I'll slowly post as I can for advise. And the above listed aren't necessarily exact, going off of memory, might be mistaken on some. Hopefully my scope gets here soon.
Still trying to get it out of case. darn it's tough. Lol
