Recently crossed over from NGC plastic, at the same grade.

Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    Looks high AU, but I would guess low MS.

    I'll say 63.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I'm also at 63, due to some trivial marks on the portrait.

    Gorgeous unmolested example. I think it's Unc, therefore I'm in the 63 camp

    I'm at MS 63. I think what looks like wear on the obverse is just the strike.

    I don't see any wear but I do see three very visible marks on Liberty's face and neck. MS63 by current standards.

    All glory is fleeting.

    The coin looks considerably darker and duller in that image.

    Not particularly unusual for a full slab shot.

    @MFeld - I suck at photography, and this was just a quick iPhone pic. It is indeed lighter in person.

    Thanks for the guesses everyone.

    In the OPs defense, it looks like the pic was snapped in the middle of a power outage.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.
