Little baggy on the face, I'm going to say MS 63 just as a fast and dirty grade, from the photos.

Nice coin.

Would have been easier to grade, had it been pictured out of the plastic. Double shadows and / or reflections can interfere with the image.
Double reflections can give rise to nicks and scratches appearing larger than they actually are.

So far, I agree with
MS62,
but perhaps it may get higher MS grade out of the plastic.

Nice luster,
no wear to be seen anywhere,
easily visible dings on the cheek,
bars on the shield OK,
pleasing reverse, with far fewer dings.

Ms 62, about the same condition as mine.

It does look MS62 shot at 63.

So they are asking $1310? This is a common date that can be found in top tier MS63 holders for around $1400 with some patience. Personally I'd hold out for a better looking certified example for a few dollars more.
