1917 type 1 standing liberty quarter

Let me know what you think.

Maybe dipped, AU Details?

I think the picture is not sharp but from the picture I see some wear on the crown and there might be some wear on the eagle's feathers too. I would probably grade this XF-AU.

Ok now after looking at it let me tell you this...it has been cleaned somehow, to be honest I bought it on eBay and it looked really good, actually I think it has great eye appeal and you can't see the tiny nicks on it without a x10 mag. But I did know it was cleaned somehow immediately b/c the ridges on the side of the quarter had black spots, but you can't see any of the spots on the front or back without a x10 mag. I'm considering returning it b/c the seller neglected to mention cleaning in the description. Any thoughts on that?

 

Oh and as for the picture quality, there isn't anything I can do, my camera is super old and only has x4 optic zoom and that's as close as I can get with the digital zoom before it turns to pixels.

[Chris1976]

if you suspect it has been cleaned, I'd just return it.

Oh, just occurred to me, check out the listing on eBay to get a better picture. This is my first auction buy so I'm open to any opinion or thoughts.

The eBay picture looks great and I might have bitten on it myself. Just goes to show you can't trust a picture by itself as they can always be photoshopped or staged to show well.

This coin has been cleaned or just overly dipped. Technical grade is Au – you over paid for the coin – I would return it .

[noow]

AU details

[natdawg-migration]

Thanks for all the comments, after carefully considering an alternative offer from the seller I believe I will just return it and keep stalking the eBay pages. Thanks again all.

I like the details---Strong AU---but I don't like the dull surfaces. I am with the others; I would return it.

 

You paid WAYYYY too much. I just sold a PCGS MS 62 FH OGH for about that price!

[BillJones]

The coin has strong AU detail, but its luster is gone from cleaning or excessive dipping.

[James_OldeTowne]

The images imply an impaired coin. It appears cleaned and affected by PVC residue.

I did well. Here is a MS 63 FH that sold for only about thirty bucks more.
