MS67. The heavy rev striations at first made me think it should be PR, not MS. Ultimately, I think it’s “merely” PL & the MS is correct. Plus, I think the 67 is a little generous (nothing like being critical of your own coin)!
Let’s play the classic what will it look like in hand from eBay. Private seller’s only two photos and got it for over 1/3rd cheaper than it sold on eBay a year ago. Just the type of coin I like to put away

3 coins to go.......then what?
I have the whole set (except the 73-cc NA of course). I'm just in the process of upgrading. The goal is minimum VF20 (max I guess will be AU50 now that I have a couple). I have 13 coins below VF, including 2 details coins (71-cc and 86). The coins above are just upgrades to existing VF coins. I'll just keep slowly upgrading toward AU50, then pass the set down to my kids someday. Passing it down to them was the only reason I started slabbing the set last year, which has turned out to be fun in it's own way. Before that, it was in a Dansco. I'm old school and prefer album collecting.
I'm down to 10 coins below VF. 2 details and 8 VG-F.

Don, I don't know if you have a magic formula to find coins but it took me almost 6 months to find a nice AU58 with a CAC
Good luck in your journey
From the Collectorama show in Lakeland, Florida, my first ever Seated quarter - 1859 graded PCGS XF40 CAC. I couldn't get a decent image with my DinoLite on this one but it's essentially perfect for the grade - my kind of coin! The scratches at star 9 on the obverse, and at the 'E' in UNITED STATES on the reverse, are on the holder.

Thanks. It was a great price and looked too good to pass.
Latest sub. A few nice original coins. 25/45/35/30
Beautiful quarters!
A new addition to my liberty seated quarter collection, PCGS AU58 CAC.

@Eldorado9 , absolutely stunning works of art. Congratulations on your new additions! They’re beautiful.
@jfriedm56 and @Apollo_23 Thanks Guys....Appreciate the nice comments!!!! I've got one more good coin to post....Right here: 1874-s arrows MS-66+ CAC
Eldo - I wouldn't call that a "good" coin.....it's FANTASTIC!
"She comes out of the sun in a silk dress,
running like a water color in the rain...."
Exactly. Those belong on display somewhere!!! What a fulfilling but taxing at times, hobby we all have
@Eldorado9 , can't say anything more than "WOWZER"!
@Eldorado9, your liberty seated halves are awesome!
You should see the Barbers on Hayes thread!

Beautiful coin with a perfect reverse.
That is a gorgeous example of 50o Seated Dollar. Cheers
New upgrade XF40. The closed 3 is a scarce coin.
How many wrongly-marked 3rd-party holders out there that thought the closed 3 was an 8? Nice one.

Another upgrade today - AU50.
Another upgrade.

I like em extra crusty
VF35 upgrade that replaces my VF20. It has a CAC sticker, not that I care about that.
Upgrade for my G6.
That's one heck of an upgrade, congrats!
Just upgraded my 51-O…
From this…
To this…
Nice upgrade!
…and here is her twin…
“Twin O Toners”
…and a friend snagged this one for me today too!
That 51-O is a nice upgrade, love the color.
Very impressive MD !!!!
I think I have a crush on the updated older sister!!!
A companion piece for my 1861-O CSA issue, the slightly-earlier Louisiana issue:
Damn. I missed the close! $46.
An 1840-O WB6 (R6) - this would have been an upgrade from my mutilated example.
Upgrade for my VF25
Nice coin Don!
New Acquisition!
