If doctor burnzy's 1890 is anything to go off of, MS-61 might be what they put on it. Hahaha, but seriously I would probably guess MS-65+.
I'm guessing the line above the eagle is a die clash?

Lovely toner. Not much of a grader but based off of what I know about these coins I can't see it going lower than MS63? Hope it came back a nice high grade Grape!

MS63 for me it might get a + for that superb toning! It's a beauty.

Beautiful coin. It looks like a Briggs 3C, which is definitely one of the better struck pairings for 1891. Most 1891 LSQs are mushy strikes with flat stars.
The one hard rim knock and the small obverse rim rash and contact mark on Liberty's left elbow are the only significant contact marks for this coin. Except for that rim knock, the reverse is spectacular. The other marks on the obverse and reverse are clash marks and pitting from the rusted dies. IMHO, the obverse is MS-64 and the reverse is MS-65, for a net technical of MS-64+. I would eye appeal adjust this up +0.5 to MS-65.
That said, PCGS seems to have a hard ceiling at MS-64 for the later LSQs. I've never pulled over 64 for any of them, and I don't think PCGS would grade this over 64. Hope I'm wrong, but I fear I'm not.
I don't see many nice looking 1891 quarters, but this is definitely one of the few.

Beautiful coin with lovely original toning. I could see it in an MS-64 holder. However, I observe what looks like light friction on the obverse high points: Liberty's head, breast, right arm and thigh, left hand, and both knees. If luster disruption is as pronounced as what the image shows I'd expect AU-58 is the appropriate grade.

Wow that reverse toning, such a nice collection you're building..  Put me down for 64+/65...Is that a bit of a clash above the date? |

Another beauty. I would have said MS-65, but... Quote:
