The overall coin looks business but the obverse field is giving me a proof vibe i had the same conundrum. PCGS shows 5 times more proofs graded for this year than business strikes. after reviewing other business/proofs I believe the coin is proof I'm going with PF65+ maybe 66 and bean worthy |

I think it's MS-66 but I have a hard time with these though I do love them.

I am going with PF66, but hard to tell from photos if the rims are squared or rounded.

I dont know the series well enough so this is another one thats hard to tell if its proof or not  But i'll go with proof 65 I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

I'll say MS66 as well and yeah, Longacre had much more style than anything from the Barber shop....

MS66 for me. How apparent is that spot next to A in AMERICA in hand @pristine2?

I also say MS66.
If it were a proof coin, would Liberty's hair not be more crisp?

I'm with the proof 66 herd
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."

No idea on a proof or MS status but 66 is not unreasonable. Beautiful coin IMO regardless of whatever the holder says.

Numerical grade seems like a solid 66. The proof vs MS call is difficult. I looked at several certified examples of proof and mint state coins on Heritage and all I can conclude is that on average the proof coins have slightly sharper details. Some proofs look a bit mushy, some MS coins are very sharp, and both MS and proof examples can have a cameo proof-like frosted look.
Proofs are cheaper than MS coins at the same numerical grade. I'll guess the OP's coin is a proof.
