This came in. Thoughts? Bright uniform yellow/orange toning throughout obverse. Has blue edge toning along the entire circumference of the obverse which lights up under a light. TPG opinion in 48 hrs. Thanks!

Shot with light running east-west.

The seller's photos hurt the value of the coin with muted luster and toning. Your photos enhances the toning, luster and the value.

Love for toning is in the eye of the beholder, of course.
That said, it adds to the luster in this case (and obscures the bag marks). So...MS63.

Edit to add: Personally, I do like the reverse best.

I can't add anything to what has already been said about the grade. Just wanted to add that I like your photos much better than the seller's pics. Beautiful coin, and a great pickup!

I think this is a technical MS63, but can see NGC giving it an additional 1/2 to 1 point for eye appeal. Prefer your pics to sellers pics

MS63 Star . In my opinion just a few too many light ticks
to make 4 . Intriguing toning , neat coin .

Really hard to tell for me as with any photo (especially the ones I post!). I like how sharp the reverse seems, but there is too much going on to be better than MS62 or MS63. The toning will likely make it sell higher for that niche customer.

Stay well,
