Nice coin. Looks like your coin is B-2, an R-1 variety. These feel a lot more like 2Rs than modern quarters.

 

Gotta say G-4. Good enough in my book

 

G06

 

Nice. Worked hard for many many years!

 

Weighs 6.38g...quite a bit underweight (6.74g +/- unspecified tolerance; Seated quarters had a tolerance of 0.065g, but current quarters have 0.227g tolerance).

 

Not quite correct @CoinCorgi

Section 13 defines the standard. Sections 18 and 19 defines the tollerance.

 

I was quoting the specs from the Almanac book thingy.

 

Fix that will ya. It’s all about

 

Always go to the legislation, especially if it calls for the death penalty!

 

G-4/G-6

That's why split grades were used by the first TPGS. Coin dealers decided that the obverse is the most important side and that one grade taking that into consideration was enough. Some of these early coins exist as AG-3/G-6. A very hard coin to grade with a single #.

 

That coin has been around the block several times. The date is very clear, nice coin, I like it. Thanks.

 

G-6 is a fair commercial grade.

 

To me, a true collector coin. Coins like this just beg to be bought.

 

Love it! For all the wear, really well preserved surfaces.
