In my (limited) experience with Barber quarters, I've noted that the fields of business strikes usually show granularity or striations towards the rim. None such is present with this gorgeous coin, leaving me to the conclusion that it's a Proof, or one heckuva business strike.
I'll bet you'd rather it were the business strike, TypeMaster - this one is a real conditional rarity in Gem.
PR64 downgraded for the scratchy fields. I see something I don't like running from the jaw to the ear, as well. Wouldn't stop me from owning it.
