I'll say AU-53/55, most attractive.

A tiny but obvious amount of wear on the high points of the design, both sides. No obviously large dings or scratches.
Even patina, and an eye pleasing example.
AU-53.

Does the orientation of the last 7 look odd to anyone?

AU53 The only thing that would get me off the coin at the right price are the white spots under hand and near star.

This looks au58 to me and nicer that 95% of Trade dollars I see in this grade range. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

So this grade is raw and seller thinks it's about MS-62 and prooflike . Which I question both. Prooflike Trade dollars are super rare . I think it's AU-55 to 58 but they say unc. Maybe the lighting is making it look like rub ? I don't know. I like this coin but they want MS-62 to 63 money . |

Tell the seller to get it certified if he thinks it is MS. (It's not proof like)
It's too high value of a coin to buy raw.

If it is genuine, I see some flatness on the obverse hair above the ear, left breast and the left leg. I couldn't call this MS. Considering the amount of counterfeits with this series, I would caution to purchase certified examples only unless you really know your stuff with these. I got burned with a counterfeit some 30 years ago because I didn't know any better then.
