Amazing Find

My grandma returned from Mexico and brought over her new pesos and the old ones from previous trips. In there was a 1923 s quarter. The strike is great but it is extremely dark on the obverse and the reverse is spotted. I will have to post some picutes soon because i have never graded standing liberty nor have any of these quarters.

Just thought I would share this since i havent posted in awhile

Nice..Standing Liberty is a great design. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

 

and a key date!

 

That's a great deal.
Nice.

 

nice find, can't wait for pics

 

Heres some junk preview pictures better ones tomarrow

 

Any help on grading would be awesome or even authenticity. Ill try to set up nice light tomorrow and a tripod

 

Hard to tell from those picts but 45 to 50 is my GUESS.
That's so great for you!!
Congrates.

 

im not an expert on standing liberty's but without seeing it in hand and having a feel for the luster id say its a AU coin all the way………i am just going off from the knee which i believe shows the first signs of wear,,,,,,,,,,i am sure a slq expert will ring in

 

Doesn't look "right" to me.

 

I doubt it would look "right" while looking thru one of those glass lens like that.
Wait til there's some real pictures and we'll see then IMO.

 

There really is no luster on the obverse, as it is really dark. The reverse has no cartwheel but is fairly shiny. I'll try to get some reall pics tomarrow and maybe take it to the smaller dealer tomarrow if he's there and the larger one Tuesday. As one is In walking distance from my school and the other is a 30 minute drive on a really good day

 

Sure looks at least XF. Can you weigh it? Should be 6.25 grams.

 

If it's real then it's AU. Don't clean it; that is a $1,000-$2,000 coin if genuine and problem-free.

 

I dont think it is real.the images you posted are very large,you can enlarge them by clicking on them,and clicking again.you can see on the obverse & reverse alot of what looks like pitting,and I owned a bogie SLQ that looked just like that.its the color and the way the color lays on the coin.I believe it is a cast fake.

It just doesnt sit right with me.I personally wouldnt buy it

Oh and I believe it was "aged"

 

That's fine if that's how you feel... but why don't you tell the OP/us WHY you think so? :computer: No point posting that if you can't explain what tips you off.

 

I did.there are holes in the reverse & some in the obverse.casting type holes,they are also on the rim's.
the toning does not look right.the color is off.
Like I said I owned a fake SLQ,its presence is identical to the one in the photo.also the date looks off.also the holes are from the type of silver used,its not solid silver,they filled it in with tin,and the tin did not stay put.

 

Very rare coin. If it weighs out correct, I'd love to have it.

 

Yeah, I know you did... but MBT didn't, which is who I was replying to, not you, so I don't know why you felt the need to post your thoughts again.

 

Sorry,those were my exact thoughts.I wasnt paying attention,I thought you quoted me.:goofer:
