Yup, I'd grade it XF.
I found angling the coin enough to show the "Omega" standing proud of its surface a challenging task. Unfortunately, I think this is about the...
Agreed, after some more time examining at lunchtime. I can look at the coin in person again to see if there is more reverse die crack than...
Yes, self doubt just caused me to look again, and it is most definitely raised. Because this has been questioned more than once, and...
Okay, I need more unbiased eyes than just my own to decide if what I think is really true. I've found photos of a couple of other 1926-D quarters...
A strike through generally doesn't leave any signs on the opposite side of the coin. I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, but I haven't seen...
That really helps to narrow things down. Now it's time for some real sleuthing . . . You're right about that being a potential source of the...

That pattern at the rim has the right look, but I'm unconvinced. That pattern exists only on the obverse side, and I can't see how it would...
I've looked at all US Classic commems between 1925 & 1928, (both silver and gold), and find no match there either. Foreign coins are my last best...
I checked out the Phillipines coinage, and don't see what I'm looking for there.
I checked out that possibility Paddy, and it doesn't look right to me.
Good thought Paddy. We probably shouldn't overlook the minting of commemoratives of that period either.
Man, that'd be some kinda woman!
I'm familiar with these 1926-D quarters with collar cud and die breaks, but what's that Miss Liberty seems to have tucked into her chain mail? It...

Unless you want this thread to haunt you, don't go there . . . .
