The luster, which is now developing a patina, appears to be a little scuffed on the high points, most obviously on the reverse. Couple of very minor dings/scratches under the patina, barely visible in these pictures.
MS-63 or 4.

Wow, I knew these were hard to grade but this is really tough! I'll take a stab without looking at the responses. This is my first ever grade given on a Franklin!
I don't think that is wear so I'm with uncirculated.
Eye appeal is definitely struggling on the reverse but that isn't really a full point deduction I think.
Strike is ok
Not full bell
Ms63? Drum roll.let's see what you all said!

MS-63 sounds about right.

Technical grade - MS-65, lack of luster and reverse eye appeal could bring it down a bit.

Full disclosure, it had a grade of 63 written on its protector, but that could have been my paw in law that graded? I haven't tried an acetone dip on him yet, but should be ok huh? There were 2 coins in this certain type of protector, the one above and a 3 Cent Nickel, from 18 something, but both had green/bluish tones that were also left on the clear plastic envelope after removal |

Not sure if that protector was allowing condensation inside, from getting hot,cold,hot, cold, or what

I'm at MS-62 because of the lack of luster and many scuff marks .  |

The reverse wasn't the best pic, or the right lighting, it's not as dull as the pic shows
