1961 Washington Quarter GTG

[newprepper]

I paid 5.10 for this, I want to see how lousy the basement company is that graded it, and how close I come to the experts. You guys seem to be right on. Help me out please. Short explanations would be helpful, thanks

[Mark T]

It is not posible to grade the coin from that photo. You paid $5.1 for the coin, does it really matter what grade they assigned ??

[Coindude]

63-64. You got them at bullion price which is about right for this extremely common date. I'd be happy with that. I would normally just put these into my junk silver rolls!

[Mark T]

Ok I see you changed the photo . MS 63 seems about right .

[newprepper]

The grading is more for my experience than anything, I know its a low dollar item

[MarkFeld]

MS62.

[JStull]

62/63.

 

Several hits in key focal areas both sides.

[grip]

62,To many hits.

[BillJones]

MS-62 obverse, MS-63 reverse. The coin has many hits, but like I said about the Roosevelt dime on another string, I tend to grade moderns too conservatively, at least compared to what the grading services say.

[newprepper]

Thanks all, in hand it looks way better than my photos, but when I saw the photos and looked at it again, I started seeing the hits, thats the kind of feedback I was looking for. Thanks, initially I thought 64, then backed off to 63. Thanks again

ms 62.. to many dings

[newprepper]

I can't believe how far off you guys were, it is clearly an MS 67, just ask ANI so when I cross it here its only worth about 1700 bucks.....sweet!!!

ANI graded it 67?

 

Pardon me while LMAO!

[newprepper]

I'm laughing too..........................................all the way to the bank!!!

[Mark T]

Newprepper - you are kidding right ?? Ok I thought you were.

[jayman1970]

Hold the camera back about five feet from the coin,at that point it may look like a 67!!!

ANI=basement grading.

 

I'll bet if you crack that out, and submit it to either PCGS or NGC, it will not even be in the low end of the Gem scale.

You did read my initial post? ok I thought you did. haha

You are wrong, as long as I look at the label and ignore the quarter, it looks like a 67

How about this? NPNG (new prepper numismatic grading) because I can do as good as these guys, and make a couple bucks besides.

I would definately grade the label at a 67+!!

[Bruceswar]

I would be a buyer as MS 63 only because of the luster

[Walkerfan]

MS62.

 

I agree with Mark at 62. There is way too much chatter and significant marks in the fields and on the devices for it to be a 63. A 63 should be cleaner than that.
