As IndianGoldEagle said, a little sharper pictures would help us give you an accurate opinion.

I don't see any rub on any of the high points, but several of them are just white areas from the glare, so it's really impossible to say with any certainty.

Am I the only one seeing weak feathers on the eagle's chest and weak hair on George?

Was thinking a Mint set quarter put into circ. but maybe an OBW/BU roll coin with the haze. Super beautiful, either way.

If that's lustrous as the pictures suggest and that's not a bump on the head and a nick on the left obverse rim at 7:00, MS-64. But if it's got even the slightest rub, it's a very high AU.

Nice! Its not 100% perfect as you can tell even with the glarey pics so AU sounds about right. I will try to get sharper pics posted within the next couple of days.

Thanks everyone,

I managed to take a couple more pics of the coin with significant less glare but as far as sharpness goes, thats all my samsung G386T's camera is capable of(only 4mp). I can use my brother's 16mp camera if you really would like to see it a bit sharper?! Anyway here are the pics:

Cool! I'll admit It took me a good while to get pictures I was satisfied with but it was due to the lighting; I was a little concerned it was too low. Looks like I'm going to hold on to this one. Was the coin not plated properly to come out with the yellowish tone?

Philadelphia did not start using a mint mark on Quarters until 1980.
