2009-D Washington Quarter in VF35

What does VF35 mean on a 2009-D Washington quarter?

A 2009-D Washington quarter graded VF35 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and VF35 is what a grader called the surface that survived. What that looks like on this coin is below. The nearest grade of this date this site does have a researched figure for is Mint State (MS-65), at $3 to $19, from sales and public data.

A 2009-D Washington quarter is one of 6 reverse designs struck at that mint that year, and this page covers all 6, so the range above runs from the commonest of them in VF35 to the scarcest. Within a single design the spread is narrower than it looks here; between them it is what decides whether a roll is worth sorting.

What VF35 means

A 2009-D Washington quarter in Very Fine (VF-35) is Very Fine at its top edge and is routinely mistaken for the grade above: the eagle’s individual breast and leg feathers are nearly all present, the wear is confined to the high points of Washington’s hair above and behind the ear where they stand highest, and traces of lustre sometimes survive beside the devices. What separates it from Extremely Fine is how far the flattening has spread rather than any feature a reader can point at.

A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade VF-35. They are the same grade and the same 2009-D Washington quarter.
