I posted the grades next to the pics above. The barber quarter fooled you, just like I thought it might. It is a PQ AU 58. The only way to tell...
The grades have been added to my first post of 4 coins. I think you guys are getting fooled into too conservative grading because of the...
Here are a few: Coin #1, NGC graded it PR 66. [img] [img] Coin #2, PCGS graded this one PR 63 BN. [img] [img] Coin #3, NGC graded...
It does not seem to have been abrasively cleaned from the photo. However, it is difficult from a scan to tell if the coin has been overdipped,...
