Seeing some small nicks here and there, So I'll say 66+

These typically come very nice. I think yours is an MS 65.
67

Who asked your opinion
Nothing special I was just bored, have you seen the 68 in CoinFacts? That thing is smokin.
Nice.
Solid 66 on my opinion.

I will say MS 66... Even after enlarging the picture. Nice looking quarter. Cheers, RickO
66, maybe a 66+
My guess is 65+. Hard to tell from the picture, but if the luster is blazing, then I think 66+ is reasonable.
Nice Washington! I would say 66 just because I do see a few hits, like on the jaw and in the field in front of Washington's face.
I'll go 66 as well.
The luster isn’t blazing but it’s there and the strike is good enough even with the hits to go 66. Which was all I was needing to cover the cost so it worked out.
This coin would’ve maxed out at 67 without the hits so maybe I owe one to the graders.
I’ll go MS-64 nice.
Hoard the keys.
63/64
Everything is all right!
After these last few guesses, if we keep going maybe the coin will be AU!

Hey Tom, glad you chimed in. Do you think I am correct in my assessment or do you think the strike is actually weak and the luster helped carry it?
Or C. I’m over thinking it it’s a 66 no more no less.
I like to look at slabbed coins and determine what grade I think they are before I accept what the TPG states they are. This has worked quite well for me in the past, but I realize that no one else has to agree with my opinions on a particular coin.
My gut reaction on this coin is that PCGS would call it an MS66 as many times as they would call it a strong MS65 (MS65+?), which in my mind means the coin is in the "right" PCGS grade and if looked at again is more likely to be an MS65+ than it is to be an MS66+. I don't think there is anything outstanding or wrong about the strike, but I actually believe the luster is a bit muted and the coin might have actually been rewarded for what appears to be original skin. The WQs struck in the late 1940s through early 1950s could have tremendous luster, which I don't see in this piece.
It looks clean, it looks original and the reverse is a bit chatty, but it also looks like an MS66 as often as not at PCGS.

@TomB Thanks for your input.
By default all of my coins will have original skin after ruining a few I’ve learned to never dip coins - period
My guess is you would give it 65+ in hand. At the right angle the reed hit in the left field sticks out like a sore thumb. TrueViews aren’t always so.
