Just got her yesterday at the Ohio state coin show in Columbus. For my Rattler type set. Feel free to guess the grade! Will post the grade tonight. The obverse has deep mirrors so I had a hard time with pics with my limited photo skills! It's graded 63. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in hand. Whoever submitted it must have been baffled when they got it back!

Since it a rattler I’ll go 65.
Very nice, clean coin btw. 👍🏻
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

She's put together fine. Some tiny hits. She's 65 in that rattler.
Still scratching my head over this one. I graded it 65. Holder says 63. Anyway, it's locked away in my collection now!! Thanks for guessing.
I'd keep it in that. Surprising it was graded that low, though, even for back then.
Gold CAC material.

I'm almost certain that would gold CAC, wow.

It’s staying put for as long as I own it!
Looks like time for a Gold CAC sticker to me. Nice coin..
Absolutely!
Nice coin, I like it even better undergraded in the old holder rather than being all maxed out grade wise.

Casual collector, mostly Morgans & Peace Dollars.
From your photos, looks to be under graded, but as others have stated could receive a gold bean. Gold bean in an early holder is a plus.
Wow, not a lot of time to get a guess in. I'm guessing it's not as good as we think based on the pictures. There's a lot of action on the cheek and face if you really look closely. It's very nice for a 63 and may go 64 but I think that's tops.
Around a $1000 coin imo.
I would bet many, many Morgans that baby would Gold CAC all day, every day.
Nice coin and I agree with gold CAC
Many a CAC submitter has thought the same thing over the years, and been very disappointed.
Nice coin. Thumb print did catch my eye.
Not sure how much that could affect grade but CAC will take it into account.
