What is keeping this coin from grading higher?

it could be the rivots and possible dipping

My guess would be some weakness in the strike. Yes its a Full Head but the strike itself looks a little mushy.

the sheld looks a little soft.

Firstly, it's nearly impossible to grade from a web photo. But let's have a go.

Obverse left of neck there is a noticeable ding, also above the left row of stars, and the middle of liberty.
Reverse appears to have a number of small dings both left of, and just above the eagle, and something is going on around the lower left star.

However it still looks pretty nice for a 64, may be something else we can't see.

I wouldn't pay over 62 FH for it. I think is OVER graded.

It's a Type II San Fran so the obverse strike is better then average but not the best I've seen. There's some marks on the eagles breast that I feel might be limiting the grade along with whatever is happening in Ms. Liberty's mid section.

Mike P. takes great pics it's tough to see what's really going on until you see it in hand.

Nicer then a MS62 but Jay Cline had/has a PCGS MS62FH that has better head details for like $745 also dipped once.
