this is a 1862 Seated quarter that was in my Grandfathers collection and was wondering what everyone thought about it

I think there is just enough friction in the fields and on the high points to keep it out of MS range. However, it's a beautiful AU-58 with smooth original surfaces, natural dark toning, and quite a strong strike. I'd bet it retains a lot of luster under the toning.

It has more appeal than many BU coins that often show unattractive tone, bagmarks, or signs of improper cleaning. Overall, a very nice coin and a terrific legacy from your grandfather!

AU-53/55 light cleaning long time ago probably. I see wipe marks and light contact marks that would keep it from MS IMO.
