Super flat strike. Actual sharpness probably a bit better than it looks, so I'll go XF40. Not sure if original toning or cleaned and retoned, but either way, it will look great in a type set!

This is one of those coins I hate to judge from 1 photo. Leaves me guessing whether or not the toning is original. There's really no way to tell based off the pics provided.
I'll flip a coin and say it's original b/c I'm feeling lucky. My grade is xf-45.

VF-35, really on the fence on whether this is cleaned or not. The surfaces look unnaturally shiny from the pictures but I don't see a "halo" effect.

Agree that the coin has been cleaned and re-toned. It is too shiny, and the wrong color, for the wear.

So what did they grade it?

VF-35 detail. Looks cleaned and retoned, possibly AT. If NGC gave it a straight grade I'd suggest leaving it alone because it might be hard to get it into a problem-free slab again.

january1may...when did they start making 7070s that have this type? As far back as I have been filling the 7070, the Arrows and Rays (Quarter and Half Dollar) falls in the same spot with the "arrows" for the 1853-1855 spot, just a little more specific and I think it looks better than just an "arrows" of 1854-55.

I see you're having trouble finding the right clad Washington quarter.  Maybe a PR70 example? 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 was off considerably with my guess of EF40! Still a great example for your 7070!
