and this is the reason I dont waste $$ slabbing. in fact I'm willing to bet that over the next several years AI App's are going to be good enough to accurately grade a coin every bit as good as a TPG basically eliminating them. PCGS is only holding on at this point due to their past reputation but that can change as they continue to grade coins like this.
i do agree with NS that the obv is a little lower. probably 64. when posting slabs pleas note if any of the marks or scratches are on the holder. the one on the top of the obv is obviously on the holder but I'm not sure about the one across the feathers above liberty. there is some blotchy toning on the obv especially around the date. maybe the grader saw that as the surfaces being altered.
but if that was the case you would see that in other areas.
it would probably come back as MS64RD due to the obv based on your photos
