I understand that sometimes bust material misses the AU designation because of lack of mint luster...but this one looks like an AU to me as far as details goes, what do you think? On Ebay
VERY nicely struck, if i was a bust quarter guy, id be all over it. not long ago it was completely "ok" to clean old coins. this one looks like a victim of that era, tough to find a bust quarter with any luster that isnt in MS plastic.
To me, it is a nice XF. It does not have the eye appeal for AU, and the obverse field marks keep it from AU.

The mark on the face is too prominent and distracting for AU.

I've gone back and looked at this quarter several times. I have to agree with robertpr "liberally" sums it up.

It looks like a solid XF to me. Not close to AU IMHO, but again you have to have the coin in hand. I do not think it would get a magic bean, but then I am not in the bean business.

Cleaned and re-toned. I know most of these are, but this one has too many hairlines for my taste, and who knows how many more there are that are not showing up in the image.
It would be a very weak AU. The coin started out exceptionally well struck (which is why it is so detailed), but it has a fair amount of legitimate wear.

in the AU range. I believe that it is correctly graded.

i bet the coin in hand does say `AU` on an average day even..

<< <i>AU details but probably net graded because of the rim nicks. >>
My thoughts exactly.

As for the coin, I don't see AU detail in those images.
It is kind of overpriced for an XF, I agree.
