    Not on my tablet I couldn't. lol
    PCGS it is....
    And now that I'm looking on a nice big screen I see some doubling with the date! I don't like the slight porosity on the reverse beneath the mintmark & denomination though, not sure if that's a die/strike issue or what.
    Since @Savy had us on the Proof Indian, I'm going to be extra critical and say: Unc Details.

    It's an 1877/77-CC Quarter :) The doubling really add much value, but in my opinion it makes the coin a bit more interesting.
    And as for your guess of Unc Details...

    Yay!
    What an exemplary example from the CC mint!
    I love Seated coins and that's a beauty, the coloration looks quite nice. :)

    I have an almost identical coin that I cracked out of an au -53 anacs slab and sent to pcgs and it came back unc details cleaning. For a minute I thought it was my coin you posted!! Mine has no sign of cleaning anywhere was just a coin they picked to napalm in my order. I'd chick this one over careful could be the same thing gonna try my luck with my 77-cc and a few others with bs details grades at NGC

    I'm planning on cracking it out and sending it to PCGS. I see no evidence of cleaning and am not sure what the graders were thinking. I've wanted a CC issue Quarter for a while and this is a nice one at a discount.

    According to a couple major dealers I've talked to they usually get it right the second time that being said I'm getting sick of their inconsistency I like their slabs better but the bs is getting old. Every shipment they have to napalm a couple coins for basically no reason. Yet they holder some pure crap and have overgraded a few. My coin which i bought from a very knowledgable and respected dealer who buys original cons I feel a uncleaned 55-8 not an unc details I feel yours is exactly the same!

    I see no reason why they would give it a details grade again unless it is in fact a cleaned coin.

    Don't sent it to PCGS--crack it out and send to NGC. I think the sucker is uncirculated, and see no reason for a details designation--doesn't look cleaned to me.
