GTG: 1953 Proof Quarter

Yep, I am indirectly on the 1953 quarter kick. LOL, this is one I picked up the other day for a Greysheet deal, and it makes the 3rd or 4th earliest proof coin I've owned (even though I could bag a 36-42 if I wanted).

What is the grade of this quarter?

Proof 65

 

PR-66, Cam

I will add the Proofs are almost impossible to grade from photos. When I was building my set old the 1936-42 Proof sets, I gave up on the Internet and had find them at the major shows.

 

PRMS67 CAM

 

PR66 cameo

 

66 DCAM

 

Proof 65. Not sure about all that Camel stuff though.

 

PR 66 ...just missed cameo

 

If it missed CAM, it’s because of the reverse. The CAM” designation is given out inconsistently in my opinion.

 

pr 67 or 68

 

The third party graders don’t think that Proof coins of this era qualify for PR-68. Those that float on water grade PR-67.

 

my 53 is 68 most of my 50's washington proofs are 68's some 69's both pcgs and ngc and there cheap. coinsidering. years 36 to 42 yes, my highest is 66' mostly 65's
67 and higher to spensive for me.

 

PR66 - No Cameo

 

i cant wait so here's mine
just misses camo status

 

So, what was the grade?

 

I actually forgot about it because of the coin shows I did over the weekend, but here's the final result:

@general quarters, you guessed it correctly! It is a PR-67, likely missed cameo because of the reverse. Definitely is a nice coin for the grade.

 

Gotta shoot a slab photo for a GTG.

 

Gotta "shoot" one? I'm not sure what you mean.

 

He means take a picture of the full slab and post it here.
It's of course not mandatory but generally good practice for most guess the grade reveals (although just mentioning the grade is fine too).
