Did they say why they wouldn't grade it?
I guess I never addressed the value of the coin. If it is a common variety probably $20 to $25. A rare variety could be up into the thousands,...
That is just split plating around the mint mark.
Different reverse designs ere made in 2009 for the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. None of these are rare. You have to be really careful with...
Washington quarters aren't really my thing, but I would put it in the higher VF range.

Thanks for this write up. I dug mine out of storage to check it out, looks like mine is genuine. Thanks again!

The 9 has simply been damaged, hit by something. You can see similar damage on the other numbers in the date.
The coin was simply punched with something. What you see as an S is just the shape of whatever the coin was punched with. It could have been...

Did she say why your 1977 struck over a 1941 is on a clad planchet which wouldn't even exist for another 24 years? We are supposed to believe...
