Concrete, is that grafitti on the neck? It looks like someone carved or into it.
I'm fairly certain your coin would grade a 64. It is very nice for a 64, but there is just too much on the cheek and neck for it to go 65 IMO. The...
I would call the 09 a 64+, and the 10, I think would grade a 62/3
Yes, they are all very fake. When I first read it yesterday, the story was different, talking about how much these rare coins were worth etc. And...

Shatsi, I think the 1848 may have had a rough cleaning in the past.
I circled the spot where it looks like the die was tooled near the rim. I also circled some raised lumps. One of the 3 may be dust, but the other...

The coin has raised spots on the surface, which are indicative of a counterfeit. Vroomer, 160 is still an okay deal, since the coin is more...
Oh, there is 8.64 grams of silver in that coin. It weighs 12 grams, and is .72 fine.
The melt value is 3.13 dollars based on todays kitco prices.
Is there any way you could take a picture of the coin outside a 2x2?
I'm 99% sure your coin is counterfeit. :(
Based on the last pic, I don't think it will grade any higher than a 62, based on the marks in front of the face, on the face etc. I also wouldn't...
I would recommend sending it to NCS as well, since it appears to have possible environmental damage, but if not, they will send the coin to NGC...
I would recommend having it graded. Your coin has high vf-xf details IMO, and if it gets graded as such, I think you would get offers ranging from...
I think it is a counterfeit quarter as well. Notice the shape of the eagle is different as well, the rims etc.
DOH! Sorry about that. Here is the link:...
