Draped Bust quarter

I picked up this Bust quarter at a shop, how do I do attribution on it? Would you folks figure it at VG?

I would only give it a Good-6. Some aspects of it look better, but you don't have very much bust detail.
As for the variety, the latest book is not easy to work with for lower grade with only pictures.
I think your quarter is a B-3 variety, The reverse has a gap in the dentils over E2 . The obverse star 13 is distant from the bust. This is from the Bust quarter book by Rory Rea. There are others on this forum with a far better eye for variety attribution. As for the grade...G6 to VG?
Good 6. Just not enough detail left to justify a VG8. I'm not the one to ask about varieties in this series. I don't think I have ever actually owned one.
A couple non-scanner images.
Coinfacts shows a lot of G to VG examples.
I agree with B-3 according to the Browning book. I tried to sell my book dirt cheap last year but nobody wanted it, came in handy today!
I would say VG-8. Surfaces look great!
Super nice find for a local shop! And most definitely worth submitting for grading. I can't see anything that would keep it from straight grading, and it might go VG8, although G6 is more likely. It depends on how tough they are on this series/year.

Neat circ. cameo appearance.
Wonderful album coin!
If graded, G06 is my gut grade.
Here is an 1806. The bottom left serif is also missing on the "T" in Liberty as well as the "1" in the date.

Nice old quarter.... I am not very good at the lower grades, but would be interested if I saw it at a show... Might buy it... Cheers, RickO
That coin was probably net graded for the reverse rim damage, and has too much detail to be used to define the VG10 grade.

Definitely a B-3 the 5 in date doesn't touch the bust. The B-2 the 5 touches the bust. Nice piece.
You mean the 6 .......right?

I would call it a G-6 but nice looking coin.
