I found this at a regional coin show quite a few years ago. In hand it isn't as cloudy as the pictures show, it's like most DMPL Morgans and very hard to photograph.
I believe this graded MS62 due to the impaired luster. I see way too many white, over-dipped Isabella Quarters and way too many like this, dipped and re-toned over many years. At that, the tone is very pleasant, especially the reverse. Many might be fooled into thinking this coin is "original" but I can assure you it isn't. An Isabella without having been dipped with subtle tone will generally has nice, strong luster and, hence, a higher grade.
I like this design and the overall color, though the lighter spots might seem a distraction to some. I bought this from Superior at a F.U.N. Show: they had 6-7 coins in PCGS/NGC holders ranging from MS62-64. I bought an NGC 62 because I thought it was the nicest coin for the grade/price, cracked it out and submitted to PCGS. The luster just sort of jumped off the coin.
