XF-45

 

You need to lighten that image weasel for anyone to be able to read the coin.

 

there you go

 

XF40

 

I’d go EF also . I love the Isabella quarter especially that it was made for the Worlds Fair in Chicago by a prominent lady Mrs Palmer was wife of Thomas Palmer of Palmer house fame . She was one of the richest ladies in Chicago .

 

Needed the matched set lol...

 

VF

 

AU53

 

I will guess EF also. Why? That's what some of the others have guessed.

 

I'll go with AU on the quarter.

 

I am at XF45, I just can't see the details.

 

XF 45. Nice original surfaces.

 

I also am very fond of the Isabella.

But I have to be the contrarian on the grade of this coin as visible from the photos. I think it's not better than about VF-30 because there is so much design detail lost from the coin. Compare the submitted coin to this one in MS-64. Note the dress, necklace, hair, cofia and crown detail worn down or lost due to wear. On the reverse, most of the detail in distaff, hair and coveralls are lost due to wear.

As a circulated coin, it's a nice item but I don't think it's an XF much less an AU.

 

I stand corrected

 

You were closest Anthony... (well you and ldhair who said AU )

 

I would dearly love to see some much better photos of this coin.

 

Will post better as soon as she arrives

 

After your first post, I do too!

 

Cool. So it's old leather wallet toning then?
