This 1899 Barber Quarter should be relatively easy to grade, your thoughts?

pictures like that make it difficult to determine if areas have been altered or cleaned, like on the neck.
it is straight graded in a PCGS slab if that helps.
AU58
My thoughts are the exact same as another poster from your other thread. You've got great and interesting coins but you're monopolizing the entire board. Maybe slow it down a little bit or put multiple coins in one post.

Pic just a little fuzzy when zooming making it somewhat difficult to see areas in detail e.g. feathers, hair, etc. Obverse stars have a strong strike but what appears to be several hits to the cheek and chin of the obverse and loss of feather detail or weak reverse strike, I'd say MS62.

My suggestion would be to find a method to capture the image of the coin whereby it is in crisp focus with plenty of light. A coin like this 1899 Barber quarter looks in some ways like an AU58 to me with possible wear on the eyebrow and nose of Ms. Liberty, but in other ways appears MS given the very clean fields (lack of hairlines, not marks). However, the shaky nature of handheld photography, even good phone photography, makes a coin like this tough to grade.

Difficult to grade from those pictures (as @TomB indicated)... Anywhere from high AU to low MS would be possible.... Cheers, RickO
MS62
