My (admittedly worthless) grade.
MS-63PL
EDIT: After further review, there might be a bit too much wear on the hair above the ear.

I'm gonna say if that's strike weakness, MS-64 PL
if that's wear, AU-58 PL

Ah, good point, Adam. Aren't New Orleans-minted coins notorious for often having weak strikes?

Its a weak strike, and quite a few marks on the holder,

Wow! I bet my wife could put make-up on with that coin! What luster. It looks like you went back in time and picked it from the bag at the mint! Just beautiful!

Gene,
This is one I won't offer an opinion without having it in hand. Something just doesn't look right and that may be from the lighting. Just from the photos I am thinking that this piece was "helped" sometime in its life. Of course I could be wrong, but that's the inkling I get from the pics.

Very nice chatter free coin. I'm going to say MS-64 with a good chance to possibly go to MS-65.

here's a daytime shots I think the gold toned rim reflects and is absorbed into the holder when shooting straight on,Its still way too gold.. My camera is a 2004 model, I think I will have to see about getting a newer one...   |

Cleaned, given that I see no evidence of luster. A PL coin will display signs of luster to an extent.
Still a nice coin.

took some outside pictures, much closer to actual coin color. the scratches on the holder really take over here...   the other pictures are much better for detail..but I sometimes get lots of gold in the pictures.. |
