<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26245632, member: 101855&quot;]I am always under grading these things, but maybe I’ll be the over grader this time. It has VF-20 sharpness, but the rim bump on the reverse nets it down to a VG to Fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The weak date is normal and does not lower the grade. One of the problems with the do-called Type II Standing Liberty Quarters was that the date was too high and exposed. It tended to wear off too quickly, and sometimes it was weakly struck, as it is on this piece. I once bought one which was slab graded MS-63, but the date was very weak. I missed that. The coin was properly because that was the way it was made. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Type III Standing Liberty Quarters had the date recessed which resulted in sharper strikes and much more durability. After the mint finally got most of the kinks&nbsp; worked out of the design, the government replaced it with the Washington Quarter in 1932.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
