<p>[QUOTE="tdogchristy90, post: 1551382, member: 35778"]So I've been searching for a standing liberty quarter. It's my last coin for a 20th century AU coin album I'm putting together. Now i'll admit that I haven't seen many SLQs in hand but have looked at many many photos via ebay and other sources. I recently picked one up off ebay for $30 and going off the pictures was exactly what I was looking for. However now that I have the coin in hand it seems a lot more worn than pictured. Yes it is exactly the coin pictured and the same details are their but its a lot smoother and not as rich in details and strike, it's just kind of worn. Is this common for SLQs? I've looked at many pictures and from the pictures they all seem very detailed and photogenic, yet when in hand they seem a lot more bland. Does anyone have any advice on SLQs? again I've looked at many photos and based on photos all my desired details are their but if they all have this same detail I wonder if they would then all look as undefined as the one I received since it as well looked defined via the pics. thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
