GTG: 1917-D Standing Liberty Quarter

Got some True-Views from PCGS today.

Hints: it graded lower than I expected; has more luster in hand than in the photo.

AU55 is what I’d grade it, but to be fair, it looks like it has had an old cleaning and would not have surprised me if it did not straight grade.

 

AU 58

 

MS63 and is close to full head. Beautiful! Love the SLQ design.

 

Good point, I forgot to put that it graded cleanly.

 

I think it got a straight grade AU55.

 

AU 58

 

Survey Said!

mikenoodle and CamaroDMD got it. AU55.

 

AU55

 

You should really let these go for at least 24 hours.
Nice looking SLQ.

 

I'm wondering why it didn't grade higher .

 

Will do. Thanks for the advice.

 

AU-55, not fair. That is a beautiful coin, somebody forgot to put on their glasses, duh! You were cheated on that one, should have been higher... This exactly why I do not TPG my coins. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very light wear visible on the knee and the shield. I would have put it at AU-58.

 

@Jim-P, that is one killer AU55!!!

 

I would go AU-58. It has a rub on the knee, but many times they ignore that and call it low end Mint State. Maybe the frosty luster prompted them to down grade it. It’s amazing how attracted so graders can to shiny objects. It gets them ignor scratches and even a rub now and then.

 

I'd grade it at AU-58, I think the level of wear especially on the shield would validate that grade. It's a really nice SLQ, I wouldn't be happy with the PCGS evaluation.

 

That's the way the cookie crumbles. At least there's only a marginal difference in estimated value of a 55 vs. a 58. I expect I've got some [and will get some] that went the other way, too!

 

Like AU58...? (was going to to be my guess if had more time). It shows some light wear on the head and leg areas...and maybe if suspect of cleaning they dinged it from 58 to 55. Who knows...but when cleaning is not obvious or is so old it's mostly worn off/away and can't really be determined, no need to ruin otherwise nice coins to a "details" coffin.

 

I see that I got here too late to guess before the reveal. Like some others, I was going to say AU55.
