I love the patina on that one. I think you found a far nicer example
Looks AU, but I can’t tell further than that because there is not enough light on the coin to bring out the luster. It appears to be dipped....
Okay @Lehigh96 , I think both of us know that I have handled several lower-grade capped bust quarters, and I know circulated early US silver well....
It was just a challenge at Baseball to see if he would support PCGS’s opinion even if it was incorrect. He tried to discredit all opinions that...

Coming from someone who won’t stoop down low enough to purchase a circulated coin
