What do you think this quarter eagle grades? It's my most recent pick up with a mintage of slightly over 27,000.

Technically it looks like an AU55/58 to me. Attractive gold coins with good luster, such as this piece, usually do not end up in AU+ holders however.
I'll guess it's an NGC MS62.

MS-62. Although there is no one big mark, there is a fair amount going on in the fields, which takes this coin out of the Gem Unc. (MS-64) or close to Gem Unc. (MS-64) categories. There is also some sort of toning on the face that might bring down the grade, perhaps to MS-62 as I indicated.
PCGS can grade these coins very tough. I've seen a few of them in MS-64 holders that had me wondering why they didn't grade higher. NGC is not as tough, but these coins have be really nice to get a high grade.

I am very happy with this coin, however I thought NGC was very tough on this one. Here is the coin in the holder.
