Struck through grease

Yes and no. It has the FG so it's not a FS901 but the roof appears to be over polished. Probably a $2 coin but do your own research on that part.

While I don’t collect Franklin business strikes, if the specific coin meets the definition of FBL or PL, I believe the coin should then be given that suffix, regardless of the grade being AU. Put another way, the numerical grade should have no bearing on the suffix. If the coin actually has full bell lines, or is actually Proof Like, then regardless of the grade that suffix should appear! With PCGS and Standing Lib Quarters, if a coin that’s lower than Mint State happens to actually have a Full Head, then that coin deservedly gets the FH suffix, which PCGS actually does. Steve

I'm all for it, though i don't collect much US coinage. Plenty of gently circ coins can still have had superlative strikes, made from intact dies, and show very good lustre, and frankly have better eye appeal than technically unc pieces with mediocre, or even piss poor strike, and the unc may have very detracting bagginess. The Brit grading system views the latter types differently, hence the jokes about everything there being graded gEF. I don't know know that either system is perfect conveying an unc w/ mushy strike.
So yeah, i think an AU -- esp 58, but also lower -- may still support designations such as these, incl potentially PL.
Also, I think color designations on circ copper/bronze gets dropped, but perhaps it shouldn't, or at least in some cases the remaining red lustre should be noted somehow.

Don't leave the FH designation for Standing Liberty Quarters out! I see a lot of FH AU's graded.

Interesting. PL I think PCGS/NGC do from AU-58 or AU-55 and up?

I can see the argument going both ways. I wish we could come up with a definition that all the grading companies could agree on and make a standard.

Very nice, not baggy like i'd expect for a 60

Very nice. That coin does not look like an MS60.

Whoa! Very nice example . And in an OGH
Thanks for sharing...

Enviromental Damage . Corrosion

Missing clad layer but likely was PMD (post mint damage)

Looks like a heavily corroded quarter with environmental damage to me.

Nice BB 232! I have a BB 234 (wide date).

Wow!

that's incredible, through the hair!

Amazing!

Nice coin. Some of those old Paramount holders ...this would be one

PMD (post mint damage) meaning it’s damage that happened after it left the mint … yours is a what we call parking lot coin that had a rough life around Parking lots ran over by cars and stuff

its worthless junk

Sorry, but this is nothing more than a Quarter that spent time in a busy parking lot.

Hi Lucy that always makes me smile when I see a post like this! I agree, it's so much fun hunting for treasure in your change. This one likely has some post mint damage but it does have an interesting looking reverse.

Get yourself a Red Book! It's got bits of info on 90% of USA coins and then you can branch out from there. It sounds like you are like me and enjoy interesting varieties so check out the Cherry Pickers books too. You may need to search libraries for those because some are out of print. You can also get them on the Kindle app.

Welcome to coin collecting!
