From my grandfather's old collection he started as a young banker. Any chance it's worth professional grading?

It's a beautiful coin. I'd need to see the other side for an actual grade, but the obverse looks AU-55.

Wow, that's nice. These get expensive real fast in High AU and even more so in MS. This one looks like an AU-55 assuming the others side is just as nice and no problems are present.

I appreciate the quick feedback! Just getting into grading myself, but I thought it could be close to the 55-60 range. Here's the reverse:

Wow that reverse is nice. Could hit AU-58 maybe. Worth the grading fee IMHO.

I have it at AU55. That, in a slab, is a $135-150 coin. If that slabbed value is acceptable to you after the cost of slabbing, then go for it.
Rest in Peace

Mid AU, I'd say AU-55.
Worth the grading fee IMO.

I might be off my rocker, my morgan grades have been running higher than the consensus. I see a typical weak strike O mint in MS. What am I missing?
