Not as appealing as the 1911, I know, but it cost a lot less too. How would you grade it?

It seems the hairlines are on a holder, not the coin.

Incomplete details on eagle talons indicates this is likely a business strike. Details otherwise are very sharp. Slight wear on Liberty's brow and eagle's tail plus friction in the obverse field suggest very brief circulation. AU-58, with good eye appeal.
Rest in Peace

Your titles for this and the 1898 say "half" but they're both quarters. Just saying.

I did not bid aggressively for this, but ended up with it. Not the most pleasing proof I've seen ...

Interesting, I would have guessed business strike as well given the weakness in the eagle talon and arrow feathers. But it seems many 1908 proof Barber quarters have the same loss of detail in that area, even in the PCGS CoinFacts plate coin.
