Minimal rub on the upper leg and breasts, so I'd say AU-58, but I could also see MS-63.

I'm with the AU-58 group.

Very difficult to see wear under the rather nice patina.
If blast white, the evidence of any wear would have been much easier to detect. For this reason, the presence or absence of small nicks and hairline scratches are also more difficult to prove, either way.
With these pictures, (which are quite OK), and to my eye, this coin is a slider AU55 to MS62.
Would love to examine this coin raw, in hand, with a 10X loupe, just as a TPGrader would do.
We have to contend with:
1. looking through the plastic cover of the slab, which may also have minor surface scratches or nicks and the probable presence of tiny dust particles,
2. make allowance for the patina in the search for hairlines and very minimal wear,
3. our inability to hold the coin at different angles if incident light.

As for me (as said before), a slider, AU55-MS62.
The TPGrader has more observational advantages than I do.
Looks to be a reasonably good strike, but there may? be a flat area on leg, above Lib's right knee, which would be in conflict with a no wear sharp strike, thus leading to the idea hat there may be some wear at that point.
My observational problem is that I am not quite able to make up my mind from what I see.
One of the reasons why I would love to examine this piece in hand, as a TPGrader would do.
