I was at 62, but can see a 63 be given. I tend to be hard on assessing halves.

I'll get a better holder for it found this one at a big antique store of all places. They had a tiny area of coins which were all crap except for this one. Was very reasonably priced.

With the reverse are you concerned about the arc indent running through the bell and into BUS (of pluribus) resulting in a details grade?

It does seem the bell has developed a new crack. Doubt I'd ever certify this particular coin but I think it would probably slip by as a contact mark. Not contiguous since there's nothing between the "BUS" and the bell.
Rest in Peace
