I have no experience grading this series but I'll say it's a beautiful Bust Quarter and I really like what appears to be a die clash.

I'd say VF35 and I see the die clash on the reverse too. That's a sweet extra character to this highly collectible Bust quarter

Grading standards for these coins seem pretty flexible. Many examples have severe strike problems so coins with above-average strike should and probably do get rewarded with higher grades.
This coin is really nice. Hair detail is deserving of an EF-40 grade IMO and the eagle breast feathers and shield details are pretty sharp. Rims are strong except for the weakness on the reverse from about 6:00 to 9:00 which also affects the top of UNI. This strike weakness could hold the coin back to VF territory. There are several small hits or voids such as the dent in the center of the eagle's head but nothing large enough to constitute a problem. Color looks original and I don't see any signs of cleaning.
A great type coin, worth in the neighborhood of $2000. It would look great in my type set!

This example appears to be the same die variety as the example on the coin facts section here. One notable difference is the anomaly on the top of the Eagle's left wing. Not sure what's going on there.

The light streak on the left wing looks to me to be a mark on a slab. Was this photographed through one?

Great coin, thanks for sharing! I can see Liberty's bust above the eagle's eastern wing on the reverse. On the obverse, I can see the clash in Liberty's chest, seen as two of the links. I wonder if you can see any clashed stars on the obverse in hand.
