<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 7882323, member: 43130"]I have two series that I am woefully poor at grading. Peace Dollars and Washington Quarters. Any advice in Washington's here would be helpful. Here's one I currently have at PCGS (primarily because I only paid $16 and I figured it would help me learn). This coin is relatively mark-free, and original in appearance. But the luster is very very subdued. The toning pattern/changes give it the look at first glance of an AU58, but under closer inspection, it doesn't appear worn to me. When I rotate it, it shows unbroken luster rolling all around, but again, it is very subdued, I guess due to the toning/crusty look of it. So I settled on MS64. What do you think? Can you share your grading tips on this series? [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1359380[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1359381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
