I'll take a guess and say VF-20.
Errers and Varietys.

Obverse VF-25 Reverse VF-30 gouge and old retoned cleaning may detail it due to CACG tightening everybody up. Net VF-25 50/50 chance of straight grade Id have snapped it up if price was right it's a good looking 93 S
Change 2 it's your lighting on bottom pics too bright coin looks original in top 2 I'm at VF-25 original

Errers, luvmyCAM, thank you both! Yes, the damage to the cap is certainly disappointing... I hadn't noticed the cleaning on this one, admittedly.
I'm happy to have it regardless, but what do you think, still a good buy for $50?

I am not sure that this one straight grades. Is that an 'S' above and to the left of the cap divot under the 'G' in 'GOD' and maybe an 'R' under the 'N' in 'IN' in the legend of the obverse?  Also looks like there may be some digs by where the left wi g of the eagle meets the shield.

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."

numismatic student, thank you, here are some pictures from the scope. I didn't take one of that wing area before putting it in a flip though, apologies. I'd hoped some of this could be from a lamination error (particularly the lower wing), but indeed, there are numerous hits to it here and there.

The scope pictures are very helpful. Thought that a picture of what the wing ought to look like from another recently posted 1893s quarter would be helpful as I don't know off the top of my head what that area of the wing should look like.
