Quite beautiful and attractive, although probably retoned over an old cleaning. Full grade PCGS holder. How would you grade this 1856 Liberty Seated quarter?

Looks like the start of some secondary rim toning and I'll assume PCGS called it problem-free given it's an older Seated piece. The rims/devices make XF to me so XF40 sounds about right.

I'd say AU-50. It's got a lot of detail, but the luster appears to be muted.

AU50. Market acceptable cleaning.
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."

I see some wear on the eagle's feathers.

I would say low AU. Face with good detail. Mild wear breast and knees. Eagle feathers are all distinct. Some original luster present despite possible cleaning. Nice looking coin.
