Recently picked this coin up. I wanted to ask some opinions on grade and how much I should have payed for it.(I think I got a great deal) I'm not really into collecting higher grade coins, just trying to fill all the holes in my collection. Would have settled for a much more worn coin but I couldn't pass this up.   |

I would say this coin is XF-40. My book shows it to be valued at 375. Anything less than 300 would be a good price.

Thanks for your input on both this and the 21-d merc soccerdad. I actually only payed $175 for this coin, I'm not good at grading and don't bring a price guide with me when I buy coins. I like to go off feeling, if it feels good (and I have the funds available) I buy it.
This dealer is a very trustworthy gentleman whom I love to buy my coins from. He always takes the time to answer my questions and teach me about the hobby. When he told me $175 my gut told me not to pass it up, I was just hoping to be right.

wow, what a price! It's hard to find these in any condition, let alone at almost half price for this key... Your gut told you right, big time  ... I agree with the XF-40 whole-heartedly |

I don't know how to grade Washington quarter, but for a key date and appearance I don't think for the price you paid can lose. |

That's a great coin at a great price. Make sure you inspect the mintmark area really good.

If I could buy that coin at that price I'd buy them all day long.

"Make sure you inspect the mintmark area really good."
I'm going to take it to a shop tomorrow that has a few of these in slabs and ask them to compare and give me their opinions. I don't see anything when I check through a loupe that would give me any suspicions. Again it was from an honest dealer who always takes care of me, I feel completely confident it's genuine. Either way, is this a coin worth having graded in this condition? Or better left alone in my album?

For this kind of key date, it would definately be a safe bet. That is because there are so many with fake mintmarks that everyone in China will have one in a few years  |

If you plan on selling it, then having it graded, and more importantly, authenticated, would get you the most for your return. I have a '32-D that I sent off and I knew would come back cleaned, but I was more interested in it being authentic. It has an area similar to yours that could just be toning, but when I see a buildup like that in that area, I'm cautious. |

I would really only buy any key dates graded so many added mint marks are out there. Not saying this one is but rather be safe then sorry
