With these the reverse always seems to grade higher than the obverse in MS and above. I think it is probably due to many more high points of same height of the design being ale to protect the fields.
That seen the be the case with this coin.

More tiny scratches (and an old not quite ignorable fingerprint as well), on the obverse, than the reverse.

Obverse MS63, (fingerprint)
Reverse MS64+
Rest in Peace

MS 62. Eye Appeal 6/10. Fingerprints don't alter an MS grade but they do change the eye appeal and value. Many folks just pass on that type of old fingerprint.

I'll say MS-62 as well, perhaps 63.

I see friction on Liberty's breast and cheek, plus rub in the right obverse field which has diminished the luster. The reverse looks fully mint state, with strong luster and a slightly incomplete strike on the eagle's left (facing) claw. In addition to the fingerprint there are several faint obverse scratches but nothing that rises to the level of a "problem".
I'd call it AU-58 but I wouldn't be shocked by an MS-63 from the grading service.
