JKK Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I don't see evidence of circulation. Nice coloration. Can't tell if it was ever dipped, but it's a nice piece. Unless it comes back cleaned somehow, I can imagine it going for 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fine example of a Mint state coin. Someone evidently took great care to preserve this coin. To pin down a grade, you would have to hear from someone who knows where to look for wear. Best to hear what others have to say, and why. Very lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadok Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 high point on reverse is where cord crosses her thigh....high point on obverse is isabella's cheek....u can determine if any/much wear etc....virtually none of these circulated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkFeld Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 My guess is that the pictured Isabella Quarter is uncirculated, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been cleaned. The luster in the fields looks a bit off and subdued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 [What enquiring minds want to know is what David Vagi of NGC would say after he examines the coin, puts away his loupe and Rick of Pawn Stars fame asks him the only question that ever seems to be on his mind: "So, what's it worth"? Anybody want to hazard a guess? Anybody want to suggest certification and encapsulation if only to protect it's apparently pristine condition considering its age?

So for all I know, he might not be able to determine if it’s been cleaned or he might think it has been, but he doesn’t want to tell you. I think you’d be taking an unnecessary risk in buying that coin. There are plenty of graded examples available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 When a member presents a satisfactory [pixelated] image of an example minus the presence of telltale prongs I think it safe to say it is in his possession and was sold to him "as is" and now that he has it he'd like to know exactly what he's got. The coin, never intended for mass circulation, has an interesting history. There are 170+ images of this commemorative quarter presented on eBay should the OP wish to compare his with theirs and Wikipedia indicates prices of $325. for an AU-50 and $3,750 "in near pristine" for an MS-60. To be fair, on eBay you will find such coins going for less, and some well into the $4,000 range. It is worth pointing out that cleaned coins described as such may be found as well. I am inclined to suggest the coin be submitted for certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
