Guess the grade 1 1

[Hoghead515]

Weve had a few Guess the Grade threads here lately. I really enjoy those, even though Ive missed a couple of them pretty badly. I done horrible on the capped bust coins. Lets try something a bit more modern. This one should be pretty easy for most members. 1948 S graded by PCGS

Actually, washies are one of the hardest "modern" coins for me to grade the same as the TPG's.   I am always off, but my guess is MS65.

66

Just the right amount of toning. 
MS64?

65

   I find some aspects of the coin difficult to discern due to the paleness of the photos, and there is a strange lump beneath Washington's lowest curl.  Based on what I can see, I would give a grade range of MS 65-66.

Your "pretty easy " comment made me laugh.  About 15 years ago I thought about getting into collecting more modern coins,(I collect seated coins).   I bought about 15 1958-D quarters in grades 64 thru 66.  Then about every other month I would take them out, (all grades previously covered with masking tape).  I figured when I could spot the different grades with ease I would be ready to try my hands at building some sort of collection.  I never broke the 50% barrier and ended up selling all the coins.

With that in mind I guess your coins is a 65.  Not because I feel that way but rather other people suggested that grade.  James

MS65

Everyone was all pretty close and several hit it on the head. MS66

I am sorry, I collect Eagle back quarters and would not pay more than 64 money for that one. 

First a DISCLAIMER:

I am not big on tones and colors. I also think that strike is part of the grade

 

There are too many marks on the obverse or me to call it a 66 and the reverse is not sharp enough for me to go to a 65. It is a NICE coin and I would put it in my collection for 64 money 

 

In a blind test I often come in at least one point below PCGS... but that is just me
