Whoops, so nice but what's going on there at the A in AMERICA?

my first thought was AU58 but that reverse is screaming MS. I'm going with MS63

Reverse is close to mint state but the obverse shows friction in the fields and wear on the breast and thigh. Solid AU-55 and possible AU-58 IMO. Attractive and problem-free.

That reverse looks 64 and the obverse looks 58. I just can't decide! How about MS-62 ish?

Probably MS-63 although there might be some dull spots in the field that could lower the grade to MS-62. The obverse photo implies that in back of Ms. Liberty's right forearm, above her shoulder and in the right field.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I bid on this one but let it go to the eventual winner who paid one more bid than I did. It sold for $612 which was a pretty good deal. That was an ok price because these never sell for $500 which is listed wholesale bid. Generally these sell for $650-900. They are plentiful in MS and I have seen many that were better quality. I guess I will wait for one with better mint luster. 1861 is the most common of the Civil War year quarters. Some of the coins of this date in the market look really pq in this grade.
