    What would a coin in this condition most likely grade at? Just to get a ballbark understanding of what this appearance for a quarter would be. It's a bit brighter that the scanner shows..

    Not good at grading quarters really, but I would say VF-30. But that is only my opinion. Nice coin. :thumb:

    I'd have to go with VF-20/25.

    I agree with Bone.
    If the rim dings were not there, I'd go up to the VF-30.

    True, I didn't take the rim ding into consideration. Still, a nice coin. Is this your quarter cykopat? Just curious.

    Yeah I pulled it out of a bag yesterday along with these other two. They were also my first staple flip attempts. They include a 1872 2 Cent piece and 1922-D one Dollar. Being as I have about 15,000 minutes worth of experience with coins. :)

    thats a nice coin even with the rim ding!:thumb: since those 1937S quarters have a mintage of only 1,652,000, i would think the value will really increase in the future.

    I wonder why the mint mark is distinctly more predominant than the rest of the coin?

    It looks to me just like the lettering on the front, however I think the dirt/gunk around around the mintmark makes it pop a little more and scanned at 300dpi @ 400% enhances that some I believe? Other than that, I would be at loss. I'd ask Gramps but he died 6 years ago. :(

    Because it is circled with dirt and grime while on most of the rest of the coin it has been cleaned off.

    Man.. I am starting to wish gramps wouldn't have cleaned these coins.. :)

    If you personally know that he was the one who did clean them, OK fine. But it could easily have been anyone who had the coins prior to him.
