I'm likely overgrading this, but I'm thinking MS-65
Imo, the toning adds to the eye appeal.

Very, very nice looking coin. I'm good at MS-65 and a CAC bean for sure.

Thank you for the grades and comments. My reaction to it was similar to yours when I bought it a little over a year ago in an old PCI MS64 slab. I cracked it out and submitted it to PCGS and here is what they gave it:  Needless to say, I was shocked. I thought there was a slim chance that it would come back AU58, but I don't see any signs of cleaning. The photos in my original post are the PCGS True Views. Here are my own photos of it:  |

Wow, that is disappointing. Lovely coin nonetheless. Is this one going up for sale?

I have no plans to sell it at the moment. I'm working on a complete Barber quarter set and I still think this is one of the nicest pieces in the collection. I got the PCGS grades about a year ago and it has taken me this long to calm down to a point that I can have a rational discussion about it:) |

It's funny, I looked at this coin and instantly thought MS-Details, cleaned. I then did a double take and thought I was being too judgemental... still a nice looking coin though, and I'm not sure why they said AU and not MS  |

j-win, looking close now, I think I see a bit on wear on the eagle's tail but don't understand the cleaning designation. Perhaps a small, ancient wipe?

I'm not even sure, just something about the toning made me think it was possibly cleaned. I feel like TPG's are somewhat lenient on silver coins though, so I wouldn't have been suprised if PCGS had graded it MS64. |

I'd say 58+. Don't get the cleaning unless there are hairlines that aren't visible.
