Used to be in an ANACS holder. I popped it out. Paid $135 with free shipping. Grade and tell me how I did. Thanks.

I see it as low VF with some annoying marks.
As long as it wasn't graded DETAILS (or whatever ANACS calls it) you did okay.
You beat the graysheet slightly.

Low VF? It was graded way higher than that. How did you arrive at that grade. This is what a PCGS AU-55 looks like:

And this is a PCGS AU-58 that shows slightly stronger detail than my coin:

Those were just the first links on ebay.

Actually, the AU58 has A LOT more detail than yours - check the key points for SL...

Shield... the Liberty ribbon - hard to tell how much wear there is there
Head/Face... you have a lot of wear on the back of the head
Liberty... wear on breast and both legs.

Check the PCGS Online Photograde for SL Quarters (nothing posted for 20c, but all the SL are similar)

The obv/rev scratches kill it for slabbing other than as "Genuine".

I'd say XF-45 NET.

I think it would get an XF details grade from either NGC or PCGS. ANACS seems to be pretty generous on cleaning/scratches, putting a lot of coins in problem free holders that the big two wouldn't.

This wasn't in a problem free holder. It was graded as AU Details NET VF30. I paid $135 and my main focus was good details and I sure as heck didn't want to spend $400 on a problem free specimen so I'm happy.
