The pic shows that there is very little or no wear.
Except for Lady Liberty's head. Since there is no obvious wear on any other part of the coin, I can only surmise that it must be a weak strike in this area.

Agreed about the devices, its the fields that are the deciding factor at this level IMO.

Based on the detail of the devices I would say MS. Possibly as high as MS64.

I see a big difference in grading opinions here.
I am NOT indicating that any of them are wrong, but it does point out that it is sometimes difficult to grade a coin from a screen image.
Normally, I like to have a coin in hand to think about a grade for it.
I think that we are all agreed that it is a very nice coin, anyway!
Continue with the grading opinions!

I can't tell if there's a rub on her right leg or if it's a weak strike. I don't see any wear on the chest, so I'll opt for a weak strike. Given that, I'll say MS-62.

AU-58 at the very least but it seems to be MS-62.

AU-58, just a bit of wear (the lack of detail on the head may be strike, but the legs' wear is usage, I think...), but OH, WHAT a beauty!Gorgeous, full date!  |

I had a '23S, but nowhere the grade of this one, perhaps VF only. Picked it out of a dealer's junk bin for a dollar, back in about 1980. I guess much easier to pick up under these conditions in Australia. Sold it some years later to pay a bill.

Not quite MS, but a righteous AU-58 IMO. Works for me!  |
