Looks like an aftermarket holder. For the grade, I'll say low MS, maybe MS-62.

Capital Plastic holder? Looks like a nice low MS piece.

Wow, that holder is really scratched up. How bad are the bagmarks on the coin? Perhaps remove it from the holder and post some more pics. These pics make it look no better than MS-60 but I assume many of the marks are on the holder.

The dyslexic Zorro mark on the cheek holds it to about MS-62. Toning and luster look wonderful.
Try some scratch remover on that holder if you intend to keep it in there.

It looks like an attractive coin, but I don't think that holder is doing it any favors. If a lot of those marks over the face are on the holder, I would consider taking it out—it's not adding any value.

Difficult to determine through that holder. Looks to be an old Capital snap holder. I normally like to keep coins in older holders, but would not in this case.

Very bag marked but I think MS-62 is fair due to the full luster.

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."

There is way too much light on the coin in this photo. First impression is MS-62, could be MS-63 if the marks are exaggerated.
