The photos are not sharp enough to make any grading judgements.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

No one uses cell phones to enlarge pics?
My iPhone does a pretty good job of doing it.
I have learned that grading Proof coins is very difficult from photos. Why are you jumping on my back after you post two fuzzy pictures of a dipped Proof coin? That's all I can say about the piece. Next time I will ignore you.

I’ll be glad to edit my post to delete jumping ... etc.

And even worse than the blurry pics, it is in a plastic sleeve to boot. The guy didn't even want to take the time to take it out of the baggie.
Gotta have that triple protection, slab, bag, and gloves I can also imagine they are taking the photos in a clean-room.

Nope. Looks washed out. Now please post a sharp image so we can see just how badly it is impaired.
Not my coin nor pics, they’re seller’s pics.

The obverse photo is blurry and besides there are glove prints all over the slab.

Collector, occasional seller
After 5 glasses of wine, it looks PQ for the grade.
I like the series but grading proofs off images is dicey.. especially pics that blurry.
I am sure the grade on the holder is warranted just by what I can see.
the hairlines must run deep - at least the seller is wearing white gloves to hold the slab in the plastic bag....
I agree with @davewesen .
Likely hairlined to hell.
Gotta love the gloves though.
What the hell is the deal with that?
Weird.
It sold on eBay for $800 earlier this year.
