If that were a highly lustrous coin in hand I could see it maybe going 65, but as it looks from the photos it's a 63. Get some good pictures and sell it raw.
Looks nice and orginal, but the muted luster would likely hold it to a 64. This date is common in gem and above and unless you can swing an MS66, which this would not, I wouldn't bother.

It's getting to the point where unless these common dates are a lock MS 65 or above, submission is too expensive. Even going the Economy Submission route (assuming you have 5 coins total or more) with Insurance and mailing costs you'll have $25+ per coin in the submission. If you spent more than $30 to obtain the coin you're on the cusp of LOSING MONEY if they return MS 64.
If coin prices keep dropping they'll be throwing paper airplanes around the grading room.
If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.
Or someone could try the others at $10-$12 a coin. At least Randy Campbell grades dollars accurately in the under $200 range probably, but how salable are the non-PCGS/NGC options?
Impossible to guess a grade with scans because there is no way to judge the luster, that said the cheek is too flat to grade higher than MS64 (IMO) and as such it is not worth having it graded by anyone (IMO).

Even if you got an MS-65, which I don't think you have a chance of getting, the coin only has a Gray Sheet bid of $130. Unless you just want it in a slab for some reason, it's not worth sending in for grading.
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 ... ?
Also depends on how much you spent on it. If it's just melt price you paid or slightly over, I wouldn't send it in. If it is a sentimental piece I may just to preserve it. I know other companies may slab it cheaply if preserving it is your need.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Not worth it. I also think it is AU58/MS62.
