    Well,

    i got today are superb Standing Liberty Quarter, a 1930 which just so gorgeous, my nicest one to date, which I'm sure I overpaid for. My son actually thinks its a full head, so I give him the benifit of the doubt.

    I got a lot of pictures, but its so hard to photograph so I tried something else

    Monday Noght at the Movies! Remember that all you 40 somethings!

    The picts marked with an 'sm' in the name are smaller (300K)
    others are up to 4 megs - great detail..

    Are you sure? Looks off to my eye (too much red and blue)...Mike

    Very nice coin, I'd grade it AU 58 FH. :D

    It has the look of a coin that sat somewhere for a very long time undisturbed -- like in a drawer or bottle or box.

    Neat coin & thanks for sharing...Mike (who really loves SLQs)

    Ruben,

    That's a beauty. I think it's a full head also, and I'd call it AU, based on a few details on the reverse.

    Sending it in for a slab?

    I had no intention of slabbing it. Maybe. I'm rather enjoying it. I love that the reverse of this coin has the circular rainbow like luster in a really nice silver coin.

    BTW - any guess on values?

    Better than the yellow. I could grey scale it. That would fix it.

    Ruben,

    The more I look at it the more I think AU58, if it came back as an AU58, probably $175ish-190ish, if it came back MS62/3 (Which if I am wrong about a couple of minor spots it is) probably in the $250-300 range.

    What think the rest of ye?

    There is obvious wear on both the obverse and reverse and it is hard to determine luster from the photos. I give it AU53. A very nice raw SLQ.

    no ear= not a full head.

    awesome coin ruben! I also have a 1930 slq in my type set. I think yours would grade a tad higher. Here's mine. :)

    Very nice. Did you check out the video of those coins? It really shows off the luster.

    SLQ Quarters

    Both coins are nice.

    I have a few SLQ's in EF/AU condition. One day, this may be a set I undertake (knowing that the 1916 will be tough).

    Thanks for sharing.

    They are the most complicated design. I don't know what they were thinking about with the rim.

    Do you really think its a full head? I thought my son was daydreaming.

    From the photo, it looked that way to me. But it is tough to say for sure. Take a closeup of the head and post it.
