What would you grade it?

    This is a raw Washington Quarter.

    Let's say you are set up at a coin show and someone brought this coin to you and asked, What grade do you think this is? Are you buying? How much will you give me for it?

    MS63 & $2 over melt. The spots hurt it a good bit IMO. But I am interested to hear more opinions.

  4. Looks UNC. But with that ghastly carbon spot, I'd pass or buy it for melt if I could.

    Alan, it looks almost PL in the fields, but the strike appears weak. And is there doubling on the eagle's neck, or is that just the photo?

    Do I see doubling on the Q and D on the Reverse?

    I don't think it's really off topic when you're asking us what we'd try to buy it for...if there was true doubling on the reverse, I'd be a stronger buyer for the coin. I also feel like I was seeing something like doubling on the reverse - initial thought was strike doubling just due to the quantity of doubled image. Would need to see it in hand or closeups to be sure, really...

    No doubling, $10 max. Doesn't look like it would be worth sending in, but it still appears to have some color.

    Actual doubling, depends on what the coin looks like in hand and what I think it would sell. Would still try to get it below $20. Maybe start at $10 and try $15...but if they think they'd be able to get more than $20 from a dealer, they are going to waste a lot of time and gas money trying to find a dealer willing to pay that much. (JUST my opinion, FWIW.)
