Thoughts on grade appreciated. I saw a couple MS-63 on ebay for $70-80.

The side in the first photo looks very sharp and I would take for MS range. The second photo seems to be illuminated differently, and it makes the high points of some of the critters from 3:00 to 9:00 look like there is a touch of wear on the high points. Likewise, the scalloped design in the center is not quite as sharp as some examples I see on CoinArchives. So I'm around where coinfrog is on this one.

Lovely coin, great design.

I don't see any wear, just cloudy luster. MS-63 possibly 64.

I am going to croak in with the frog!

Clear wear on the animals, especially on the ones around 7 o'clock.
Other side is too overexposed to tell, but some flower leaves look a bit flat.

No real lustre - I would go further and say high VF to low EF condition.
