Those die polish lines are very distracting. Some contact marks over the whole coin. Probably dipped. MS-62.

Personally I absolutely love crazy die polish, this is some of the strongest I've seen and definitely the strongest I've seen on a Barber quarter. My first thought was 66 as well but I think the abrasion behind the eye may hold it to a 65. |

Gosh that's a lot of die polish. Shouldn't impact the grade though. I'll go MS65 as well. with some abrasions holding it back. Very expensive key date coin. I don't think it's overdipped, there are several on Heritage with a similar odd appearance (at least in the images), like this one. https://coins.ha.com/itm/barber-qua...bnail-071515 |

Well please don't even tell me this coin has been whizzed .  All kidding aside I agree that those crazy die polishing lines are very distractive . As long as they don't take away from this coins grade then I'm at MS-66 . The 2 lines or scratches right below earlobe keeps it from a 67+ .  |

My initial reaction was 65 and I will stick with it.

Extremely clean and good looking coin! Surfaces are super clean and I love the die polishing. Struggle to find much wrong with this one. I am not an expert with these, but going guess MS-67

I'll say they gave it MS66. Sure looks dipped to me.

Super coin, I'd say MS-66. Those die polishing lines probably aren't nearly as noticeable in hand, and they likely give it some nice mirror surfaces.

ericgreen- I would bet my house you looked this up on ebay.  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Ever since I found out people actually cheat like you just did, it's not as fun.
I recently stopped participating due to this.
Raw coins or coins not available to cheat, I'll guess the grade.
But people attempting to gain merit this way, that's actual comedy.
