Need larger and sharper pictures, particularly of the obverse.
The obverse appears to have some distracting marks.

I will agree with MS-63 , but I'm not liking that mark or scratch on almost entire left side of obverse .  |

I don't think it would be fair to venture a guess on grade from these pics. I think your coin is a lot nicer than it looks in those pics. Just curious, what is that line extending from 3 of the date thru. 9 brushing the Bust and going thru. the middle of IGWT North into the field? Is it a die crack? or damage? if it is a die crack it would be really cool to see it up close. Will wait for better pics.  |

Better pics please. I take it these were not taken through a plastic slide?  |

MS details cleaned if real, can you post a close-up picture of the mint mark area? The overall look of this particular quarter is a bit troubling.

The curved line on the obverse needs to be determined first. If that's a die crack, it's about the biggest one I've ever seen on a Washington. If it's PMD, its almost certainly an ungradable coin for damage. |

the curved line on the obverse looks like a scuff mark
not that bad in hand.

Tried to enhance OP's pic. a bit,still can't tell if it's a scratch or die crack.The coin does appear to have been cleaned though!Need a better picture by OP, not an enlargement of the same pic.  |

I think I can see the diagnostic die scratch above the D in DOLLAR; so I will say authentic, MS details - heavily cleaned.

The linear hairlines looks like it's been cleaned. Also looks like wheel marks on the neck.
