I prefer lower grade coins to high grade that do not have the letters on flan needed to ID the moneyer. My quarter only has two letters but WA can only be Walter when you look up the choices and the half with the dots on either side of the L can only be Willelm. The other half of this coin in mint state still did not tell you which of the two Willelms it was not to mention that the portrait was all hair. Don't pay high prices for fractions especially those that can not be IDed easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
