Hello everyone, Today I bought a 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter graded in an OGH by PCGS Please guess what you think the grade is! Also note that the large scratch from L to Liberty's neck is on the holder, NOT the coin. If any additional pics are requested I will try to provide them. Thank you!
I'll go with 64. I don't see an ear so not FH. I'm curious about the scratch looking feature on the obverse from the L to the E in LIBERTY. I'm assuming that it's not a scratch since you don't have a details option in your poll.
Am going with a 64...maybe 65...but only because I can't clearly see the breast feathers, if a weaker strike or just the lighting/angle, shadow, etc. of the photo. Neck looks good, but then nothing on the breast. Very nice piece. Appears a FH but that's not one of the options.
Good morning everyone, thank you for your responses. Here are some closer pics of the head. Taking these pics with my phone camera (Galaxy S9). It is not designated as FH and I agree that while it's a somewhat stronger strike, it still isn't FH. And finally here's the PCGS grade: It has very strong luster and relatively clean surfaces, some chatter on the head and knee. Whether it could regrade at 65 if I crack and resub I would give it 50/50 odds. I am absolutely positive it could CAC though. Will try to see if there's a way to get it lined up straight in the slab. Then again thank you guys for the responses. Love to have this coin in my type set and will probably do a video on it for my YT soon.
I voted MS-65, no full head. The coins in green label PCGS holders are often, but not always, conservatively graded. I think that's the case here.
