<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 2055230, member: 26030"]<b>1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter (PCGS AG3).</b> I bought this raw coin on eBay in Oct for $21.50. Just got the grade and photo back from PCGS. About Good (AG3). The biggest thing for me was they blessed the color and gave it a problem-free grade. I think this is stunning and is the kind of material that bowls me over. I think the color happened like that because oils from people's hands protected the heavily worn areas of the coin from reacting with the environment (sort of like an air-tight oily casing on heavily worn regions of the coins surface) -- while in protected regions of the coin there was less oil and the environment reacted with the silver to produce that stunning rainbow color. Some of the same rainbow palette can be seen on the reverse in protected area, but the obverse is the monster side. It might be close to the best PCGS-graded rainbow color that I've ever seen on a Standing Liberty Quarter, in any grade.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1928DSLQ_AG3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1928D_SLQ_AG3_1100.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
