<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1196342, member: 8797&quot;]my friendly coin dealer showed me his 1917-s standing liberty quarter. Holding it under the light for me in its order-your-own slab, obverse showing, he says guess the grade. I say MS65... He says how bout now? flips it to reveal a perfect reverse, but for the ugly &#039;X&#039; carved between the eagle&#039;s wings and under &quot;e pluribus unum&quot;&nbsp; :O . He just chuckled as my face fell; he must get a real kick out of doing that to collectors that appreciate the beauty of coins, as I&#039;m sure he doesn&#039;t show it to everyone. Sorry no picks, but it is a real &quot;could have been&quot;!!! (Oh, btw he does not sell graded coins, and the cheap slabs are never labeled or attempted to be passed off as graded by a TPG.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
