Picked up this better date/mint quarter last week. I like the original look it has. I'm going with VF30.

I'm going to say between vf 20 or vf25. I think vf 30 might be a little high.
My thoughts also.
Between the wear, several nicks and cuts in the obv fields and some rim nicks I would call this VF25 netted down to VF20 at best.

20.
I don't like the rim noise.

I would go with VF25... though likely to details grade if submitted. Cheers, RickO
VF25 looks right to me, though I wouldn’t describe it as having an original appearance.

VF20 details, burnished, excessive obverse marks in the fields.
25 if it grades

Here is another picture.
It looks cleaned, more obviously so than in the original pictures.

The second photos are overexposed and are not good for grading. Note how the marks in the obverse fields seem to have diminished. It also takes on a very "cleaned" look that is probably not accurate.
Yes your right, its overexposed. I'll try to take another set of pics using an ott light. So is the consensus here that it had an old cleaning and this is secondary toning?
I don't like the coin that much, but I don't see any cleaning. I think it would go VF20 at PCGS. That being said, 1856-O is one of the more common "O" mint seated quarters, right behind 1840-o No Drapery, so I wouldn't send a VF of this date in for grading.
We don’t know what the coin actually looks like.

Good to know Redden. Thanks.
It's funny though. I never said I was going to submit it for grading. I just wanted some opinions about what other collectors would grade her. I paid about VG10 money if you went by the pcgs price guide.
I know it's hard to give an opinion by just looking at images. Here's a video which may or not give a better view.

Vf 25
VF something. That should straight grade.
It certainly looks better than in the second set of images!
