GTG Seated Quarter

I was thinking impaired proof at first.
But the weaker strike on the obverse seems to be a trait of the business strike.
I like it as an AU55 but think it might be a slider.
As high as MS62.

I'm caught between High AU and low MS... My best to you!

 

A quite nice coin. Lots of eye appeal, IMHO. I think it is AU 58 since I see hints of rub and it's in an older holder. Definitely weak strike on obverse, less so on reverse. Obverse looks like the die is a tired, it was just about the end of the series. Reverse also tired but less than obverse.

If this was slabbed today. I think it would be MS 62 or 3.

 

Bingo. PCGS gave it MS-64.
From the images I posted, it looks like a 58.
One of the first things I look at on seated coins are the eagle's talons. I bought the coin from the first image posted about 15 years ago. The glamour shots messed up the thread a bit but brought the color out.

 

AU 58

 

Beautiful Coin

 

So a weak strike coin that spent a lifetime in a cabinet?
The highpoints suggest rub/wear even if it got the originality bump.
When did PCGS grade it?

 

I always thought it was MS. My only question was how high they would go, given the soft strike. The color is terrific.

 

I bought it already in the slab about 15 years ago.

 

Beautiful coin I love seated quarters

 

I only wish I had one or could afford one. This year has been tough. I had about $8K withheld this year, but due to some business decisions, I had to choke up another $3,200 to the IRS.

 

A Beauty Nice coin!!

 

AU58

 

Nice Coin. I was way off on this one.
