I've recently picked up my very first graded quarter. A 1954 Proof. Here it is: I've also heard different opinions about the grade, and that it why I wanted to make this thread. I am just curious what the collectors on cointalk and those who know their quarters think about what this might grade. -Kyle
Photos aren't good enough for me to feel comfortable providing you with any numeric grade... But I can say it definitely looks "CAM".
It is nearly impossible to grade a proof with an image, tiny hairlines are everything. But I can take an educated guess and call it a PR-66 CAM. It is a nice cameo for the era. Be careful, early proofs are very addictive.
It is essentially impossible to give accurate grades to brilliant proof coinage from these types of images.
What is the best way to photograph proof coins? I always get a reflective glare from the coin and its feilds and the camera doesnt want to focus in on the coin...
