I would say VF-20 at best. Surprised at your grade, N/S.

I wouldn't straight grade this coin. The stars in the obverse pediment are struck up, which don't suggest a heavily worn, circulated coin. Same with all the obverse lettering. Reverse lettering and feathers suggest the same.

Granulation looks more like a picture quality issue than a surfaces issue. Weak strike, noticeable in the right leg flatness and shield. Good amount of luster still apparent. I'll say XF45-AU50 likely details. Better pics needed.

EF45-AU50? C'mon.  The sash isn't even complete. Edited by Coinfrog

You have to look at the overall coin, not just one part. The middle of the obverse with liberty does not look like the rest of the coin.

Apparent pitting hit my eye when I first saw it. Interesting die crack from the branches shaft through IN. Don't like the mark on her left thigh, wondering if the funky lighting is positioned to hide it? Hey...its a full date SLQ..I like it ! Struck with an out of focus REV  . How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Certainly not an original obverse . It's a details coin so you might not want to bid on if it's still open .  |

At first glance, VF35. But it has small amounts of remaining luster  . I'll go with XF40 weak strike. It appears genuine but something is fishy. But I'd gladly throw this in my tube of dated Standing quarters! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Definitely some central weakness, but the other devices look strong. Possibly a greased die or strike weakness? I'd say XF details, abrasions.

The strike is weak and grainy surfaces. The coin could be details, but hard to tell from the photos. I am in the VF range.

 alright alright Coinfrog. After a second look I'll shift mine down a grade, XF40/45. Really need to see some sharper, less grainy pics. |

i agree with those in the weak strike box. the stars, lettering and date are all nicely struck. the surfaces on the obverse are hosed. acid? in any case I think its cleaned maybe XF details.

I'd say you should be glad you lost the bid on that lot.  |
