AdamWL Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I've had this coin put away out of sight for a while. I was thinking of selling it and putting the money towards a higher grade slabbed example of the type. When I got it out, it actually looked nicer than I thought. Nothing screams "details" to me, which I halfway expected since I remember getting it cheap at an LCS a few years ago. I have almost no experience trying to grade these though. So I'd greatly appreciate some opinions. Any possibility it's a MS coin? Thanks in advance. Coinbuf and GoldFinger1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamWL Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I forgot to add, the pics are taken through a 2x2, if that wasn't obvious. If necessary, I'll remove it a re-photograph it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Holmes Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Based upon my collection of gold quarter eagles I am inclined to think it is in the AU category based upon scratches in field and wear on high points such as the band on the headdress. Of course, it may be the picture that is not clear. Per pics 1911 is AU58, 1926 is MS63 AdamWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I am solidly in the AU camp myself, the rev eagle shoulder is clean and does not seem to have any rub. However, the obv headdress and feathers are screaming AU, maybe in hand or out of the 2X2 I would think differently. Regardless it is a great looking coin and I think it would go AU58.

bsshog40 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I'm in the AU camp also. Here is my MS62 for comparison also. AdamWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hold it up to face a piece of white paper, and look at the coin's surface. If you see any darker areas, the coin is not uncirculoated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the PCG$ holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the head dress ware, wing and arrows with the rim and other nicks I would call it a 50 maybe a bit higher if the graders are in a good mood AdamWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
