Hard to say. Looks like a very clean coin, especially the obverse. Looks minimum 65, possible 66. However, I believe the lighting may play a role in the grade and that there may be hidden marks not showing in the pics.

The one mark behind Liberty's eye is the only distraction. I voted MS65 but MS66 wouldn't shock me.

I voted 64 because numerous fatty slabs are undergraded by today's standards. nlp

I voted MS-65, but I think it could possibly go MS-66 by today's standards.
Rest in Peace

I'll guess they had it at 62. Just a hunch.

I'm thinking maybe MS-64 to 66 but I guessed MS-62 since they usually find something wrong that I can't see or missed.

I'm in agreement with zxcccxz MS65 maybe even MS66 but lighting and the photo small size will play a big part in my grade when guessing rom photos, I can see this coin anywhere from MS63 to MS66 with these photos.

I'm guessing 66 just because of the stunning detail on the reverse.
