Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 640602, member: 9270"]Here's the two Washington quarter keys (not counting varieties). The interesting part is the ANACS slab for the 1932-D.1932-D 25C/SCRATCHED//EF 45/DETAILSI asked ANACS what this meant.The "SCRATCHED" part indicates larger scratches than would be expected from normal wear. Large enough to affect the grade BUT cannot be attributed to a harsh cleaning.The "DETAILS" label should be familiar to all. It indicates the grade has been adjusted to accomodate a problem (in this case "SCRATCHED"). The "EF 45" is the final adjusted grade. It means that the coin would have graded higher if it weren't for the scratches, NOT that it's a "EF 45" coin that should be downgraded because of the scratches.I would expect it to be worth less than a normal EF 45 coin. The scratches are undesirable. I included the 1932-S just because it's a key. <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/25-1932d-Scr-Final-txt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/25-1932s-Final-txt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
