Circulated Barber Quarter Grade Needed

Any ideas of a grade?? It still has mint luster on some of the protected areas.

I'd say about F15, but looks like it has some scuffs on the obverse from a cleaning or rubbing.

 

I'd call it fine, a US collector might call it VF, I doubt if the most optimistic would claim any better.

 

It might be more likely to have secondary toning, rather than mint luster, from the light cleaning the coin sustained.

 

I grade it as F details, cleaned, due to the hairlines on the obverse.

 

F+ cleaned, possibly

 

F15. The vertical hairlines on the obverse may be cleaning, and they may be an artifact of the fact that you have a single light at a fairly low angle directly to the right of the coin.

 

I paid $10, I can not see any hairlines on the coin in hand and it does not appear to cleaned in hand, though after seeing the photos I took of it in higher magnification I now agree it may have had a light cleaning years ago.

 

F-15 and cleaned I see parallel hairlines on the obverse anyway
