[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 811454, member: 13342"]I recently purchased a large lot of 80 standing quarters that were supposedly "unsearched". They ended up at a hair of $3 a piece, most were dateless; but a couple of interesting finds. I am not an expert on these, but have been doing some research. The first one I believe to be a 1920-D. The "0" is quite clear. It obviously has some damage, but still a semi-key worth more than melt. The second I believe to be counterfeit. The weight is off by .5 grams, and it looks as if Lady Liberty is "Walking on Water", as her pedestal is wavy, bottom stars are missing etc....Interesting coin, but I'm out $3 on this one...lol. The last one I believe to be dated 1921. The 1 is faint, but is visible, appears to be the correct location and thickness and the overall "look" is right based on comparison with Heritage "1921" AG-3 to G-6 graded quarters. I'll try to get some better pictures, but you can tell with these. What do you think? If so, it just made my day.:smile[/QUOTE]
