1929 $2.50 Gold Quarter Eagle; Is This A MS63?

I have a 1929, something about yours looks off. These are incuse, the design is pushed down, but in yours the design looks muddled. Can we get the NGC front picture?






Your coin is in an old fatty holder with bar code. Does the slab front look like this?

Even if the bar code does not scan, you can enter the digits manually. These pics are not clear enough to make any determination.

Thank you all for your replies.

Here are additional photos. The initial photos are all scans. I find that the small diameter coins are harder to get a clear scan than the larger ones.
These newly attached photos are not scanned; they are camera shots.

The slab is an older slab probably the third or fourth generation.
I find it interesting that the rim doesn't show; did the old NGC holders fully enclose the coin as in this?

When I checked the coin under a microscope and compared the fonts and the patterns with another sample coin, I found the fonts and the patterns to be similar. The only key differences between the the sample and this coin are that the BLP initials is not clear on this as well the areas of the eye, the depressions of the cheek and some areas by the jaw are lack lustre not having the shine as the high points. I find it odd that the high point of the cheek has the lustre but the depressions seem to lack it. Usually it would be the opposite with the high relief areas more worn than the lower areas.

The slab does not scan with the app and I am wondering if it is because it is an older slab that this maybe the case. However when I enter the cert number, the right description shows up but the coin does not have a photos provided by NGC for comparison.

Also what is the black spot on the feathers? Dirt or something else?

No, Coinfrog. That's the same coin. They both have that knick in front of the lips and that black spot in the middle of the headdress. The photos are much better now, but not great. That's a nice 62 you posted, Helder. That black spot is a carbon spot. I wouldn't take it out of that holder. In comparison to Helder's coin there appears to wear in the headdress on yours....so I'd leave it in that holder especially with a carbon spot. I'm not sure it would get the same grade now. Does anyone know if this date comes with a weak strike?

Much better pictures. The coin and slab look real. The slab appears on the NGC website (no photo).

I wouldn't say 63 though. Maybe AU/low MS with the carbon spot and minor wear. Still a nice coin.

You have so many different photos not sure which one you want graded.

Carbon spots may appear over time. It may not have been there when it was graded. Those spots will affect grading. That's why I recommend not cracking it out. You can send it in...choosing a payment option if it doesn't get the same grade then don't crack it out ....but you'll still have to pay for that.. A coin is only guaranteed for the same grading level for a ten year period.....That holder is over ten years old therefore you can't just swap it out for a new NGC holder even if they accept the holder as genuine. The price level from a MS62 to a MS63 is a roughly $200 jump. I'd leave it in the MS-63 holder. If you have the coin regraded and it goes down one grade then you are out $200 in potential value plus the cost of having it graded. It's not worth taking the risk. I'd just enjoy the coin as is.
