    Beautiful key date Canada quarter marbury!
    Looks like an XF/low AU grade to me. I would estimate the value at somewhere between $220-$250. Just a guess based on past sales for this coin.

    Better be a lot higher than that or I will be broke too...........

    I'm going to say this is around a 61 or 62. The obverse designs of the Edwardian pieces look so softly struck that it's easy to mistake that for wear. Very nice coin might I add.

    It certainly could be. I am not sure if the lack of detail on the obverse is due to wear or a soft strike (like kookoox10 mentioned).

    Well, it looks a bunch nicer than my 1927, which NGC gave an XF45 to...

    Beautiful design and a beautiful coin!

    What do you think of the grade marbury?

    Told that these Edward VII issues are difficult to grade properly and are notorious for weak strike. Whilst I would get a higher grade with a US TPG I elected to send it to ICCS as they're opinion has more gravitas with Canadian collectors. The coin has provoked great interest on another forum with about 900 views and 40 odd replies and grade has varied from low AU to MS64.......my grading skills aren't great to will have to wait for my result.
