1870 Seated Quarter ~no Way?~

First off, from all of us, this is an awesome place to learn much about coins, and lots of other things!
To your 1870 quarter, it might not be a bad idea to make your images much larger because it looks like your pics of the coin are too far away to see nice and close so we can better help get your questions answered properly. But based on your actual photos to my eyes, I can't really determine if yours is cleaned or has bright luster from all the detail I see. Your closeups do help a little but we can see what others think here...

We'll need some better pictures but I can tell you already that it will likely be a details coin. It looks harshly and improperly cleaned.

Please just show us straight-on pics of both sides for a fair evaluation.

That last picture of the eagle has enough evident that its been mess with, the value and history has been diminish quite a bit.

Alas, that heavy tampering turned a $1000 coin into a $200 coin.

to the forum! I'll bet that was a nice adrenaline rush..

Now based on these new photos, your coin definitely has that polished look done sometime after being minted, possibly whizzed, even though it has much detail still remaining.

sorry about the coin but its been harshly cleaned and the value has been greatly depreciated
