where can i see a Gem1944MSWashington

I just received one from ebay, one of the first coins i got.

SSOOO I don't know how to judge it. It doesn't look to good --looks slightly sandblasted to me.

Is there suppose to be much detail in Georges hair or on the eagle , the bottom wings are their , but not much.

i wont comment any further on this coin until i knoiw more about grading washingtons

you talk about getting a learning experiece

I would definitely tell a newbie to do a lot of more research than i have before purchasing coins

I do appreciate the replys i have gotten here , it might decise whether i stay or leave the coin collecting phase

Here is a photo of a 1942-S Washington PCGS graded MS-65. I could not find a 44 example on hand. But the grading principles will still apply.

 

Coin Collecting will always be a learning experience. No one can know it all. That is one of the most fascinating aspects of it. I have been doing this for number of years now, and I still learn new things. Grading is by far the toughest part of the coin hobby. It is going to remain subjective. Everyone will see the coin in a different way. We are all here to help. Pick our brains. We all enjoy talking coins, and learning more about them.

That scan doesnt show very good

Is there a link i can go to that would show this coin in ms condition ,something like the morgan dollar grading link

 

I forgot, this coin was advertized as a Gem MS68

Its shiny enough

Are the eagles wing not as detailed as a 1943 half dollar

not a lot of hair detail either

 

Can I put a pic of this coin on this forum, if yes , how do i do it?

 

Sir;

I far as I can find between the top two grading firms only a small handful of 1944 washington quarters have graded at MS-68. At that level, the details on the coin would be superb.
I will look around the internet to see if I can find a few grading photos of Washington quarters.
Was this coin sold raw?
Here is a link to another thread here on coin talk that describes posting photos.

I have found what a MS-68 Washington quarter should look like. This particular dealer is well known for his finest known coins.

I hope this helps.

 

I have a 1997 circulated i found laying around that has better detail than this one, if you can compare the two.
