What VF30 means
A 1974 Washington quarter with no mint mark in Very Fine (VF-30) sits at the top of Very Fine: the eagle’s individual breast and leg feathers are largely present, the high points of Washington’s hair above and behind the ear have lost their shape over a smaller area than at twenty, and only the highest points are worn. It is the last grade where the wear is obvious at arm’s length.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade VF-30. They are the same grade and the same 1974 Washington quarter with no mint mark.
