1901 S Barber Quarter. Serious question.

Hey guys! New to forum here but not new to coin collecting. I was reffered tothe forum by another metal detectorist on a different forum. Recently I was detecting ad found the find of my life. A 1901 S Barber quarter! I'm not very concerned about it being authentic or not but I am looking for your opinions on what you think it will be graded as. The coin was recently sent in to Great Collections where the grading services will be handled before it goes up for sale. It has substantial environmental damage from being in the high Idaho desert ground for so long. The reverse in particular exhibits porosity and some verdigris. Do you think it will be "un-gradeable"? or do you think it will get a "details" grade? I'm hoping for a details. This coin really is a great looking coin, especially in person. Thanks for the help!

I think the scratch will details it and or enviro damage anyway vf details it looks like still a killer find

 

yeah that scratch is a real heartbreaker bout a 10K scratch or so :0

 

My concern is between the environmental damage and the scratch, that they just wont grade it.

 

The scratch going through the face wlll be a concern......

 

I think they'll detail grade it is real just problematic. Nothing so killer for a bodybag I think

 

Looks like die pair A. I think you'll be ok with a details holder.

 

I have seen you on that forum, I'm Coinman123 over there, and congrats on the banner, I would love to find one of those. That is an amazing key date. It would probably come back as VF-35 Details, Environmental Damage.

 

Thanks guys! Hows it goin CoinMan123! MainBill, I hope you're right!

 

Here's another of the reverse in different lighting. Sorry. iPhone pic. Not very high res.

 

I've submitted a lot of coins for grading. Is a problem coin for sure but not horrible. I've seen much worse graded

 

It should get a details grade at least,congrats are in order! Too bad you didn't find it 50 yrs ago!....

 

Man! Nice find! You have to let us know how it ends up.

 

Man, I wish I could have found it 50 years ago! I'll keep you guys posted

 

You need to make movies.
