rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 03:41 am I've noticed that also Coinstar. Friend of mine worked a vending machine route. He showed me a Seated Liberty quarter he'd found in the machine and traded out for a quarter from his pocket. It wasn't in bad shape. Then he tells me, he thought they looked cool so he saved one. Come to find out he'd been finding Seated Libs for a while at this one location, but only saved the one because he didn't have any more interest than keeping the one. Probably some kid slowly spending away grandpa's collection in a vending machine. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree the Obverse is close to an AG3 but the Reverse looks definitely PO1 to me, so the overall grade is FR2 for me. And an AWESOME find! And the date looks good to me (i.e., not weird).

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 11:56 am FR-2, the reverse rim has a lower relief than the obverse rim so you will frequently see split grades at the lower levels. Awesome lot find Report this Post to the Staff
