  I can't see the "LIBERTY" except for maybe the "L" so I'll say G-6 until you provide a better pic.

  If one ignores the "LIBERTY" the coin seems to be in the F12/15 range. However, no Barber collector is going to ignore the "LIBERTY". Better pic please.

  It looks like a F15 but its a tough pic. If BER is there, I'd go VF20.

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

  Nah, LIBERTY is all there and it's definalely a crappy pic.
  
  This coin is a PCGS VF25 - I'll see if I can get better pics...

  Based on the overall detail = F15. If LIBERTY were complete, many sellers would give it a VF20 grade, but you can tell by the remaining wing detail on the reverse that it is probably not a VF coin.

  I'd likely call it an F15, it's just too soft to go higher.

  The picture is too fuzzy to see the "LIBERTY." By the surfaces, the coin looks like F-VF, but if the "LIBERTY" is stronger than it appears, the coin could be a lock for VF.

  I'll join the 'need to see a better picture' crowd before hazarding a grade. Looks to me like the overall feel for the coin fits your new collecting goal for this series, Stan. If you're happy with it, that's what counts!

  Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

  I would probably guess VG-10 at lowest and VF-20 at best.....

  Based on the details I can make out, I'd say in the F-range, 12/15 or so.
  
  I'd need a clearer shot of Liberty and motto to see the VF-25 it is housed in.
  
  Nice coin though.
