I made a post on "accidently" winning this coin last week and a CU member asked about the grade, which prompted this thread.
What do you think the grade is?
Thank you for your interest and participation!

Edited, since I found the coin listing.

MS63 is my guess.
58 or 62. Very nice coin.
63 sounds about right.
AU55 give or take. Center of both obverse fields look to be missing considerable luster. Quite a bit of high point rubbing, especially the rev rim from 3 to 6 o'clock. So many edge cuts on the rims. Just can't see this as UNC. And probably netted down 1 grade for all those edge cuts. Coin appears to have seen a lot of circulation or handling.
I'm assuming this is a PCGS coin. If NGC, then it could be anything from 55 to 63.
Looks 55 to me, but since it’s on the darker side, could also be 53, especially if it’s in a PCGS holder.

In my opinion this coin appears to be a really nice AU58 or might squeak into the MS62 category. I'm not concerned about the rims and their apparent lack of details since so many die marriages have areas of weakness in certain points. In my opinion, the coin is struck well overall, has good eye appeal and really fits the definition of an AU58. My hedge on the grade (stating it might squeak into the MS62 category) has everything to do with how the TPGs grade these coins and nothing to do with what I think of it from the images.

I'm with @TomB on this one. Looks like a very nice 58 to me but a 62 grade would be no surprise.

I think from the picture it's a 55+, 58 or 58+ but it could be an Unc' or in an Unc' holder
It's a nice looking example!

I like it as a 58, would not be surprised if in a 62 holder.
Edit, found it. Nice looking coin.
58 really attractive coin!

AU58. I think if it were flashier, with more luster, it could grade 61/62.
I like it regardless.

I also think that she would be one of those 58/62.
With a slight die rotation and one of those new fangled chip thingies.

PQ. Nice strike.
Based on OP's first pics - I had 61 ready to type, a like from me, then I see the slab/grade, and agree slab pic looks 58 at best.
the pics make a big diff, these truly are GuessTG's
