Grade estimates on this Indian Quarter Eagle?

I buy and sell a lot of these, and they are my main area of focus. With that said, I hardly ever send any in for grading unless they are toned, or pretty high grade. This one has amazing luster (that doesn't really show in these pictures) and really clean fields. The reverse has a small tick or two, but other than that, it looks clean! Any grade estimates? Worth sending in?

Looks nice but so tough to tell from pictures, Could be AU up to MS62 i'd guess
Latin American Collection
I usually try not to submit unless I think it could go 63 or higher. 62 and under don't bring enough premium to cover the grading costs.
If luster is like you say easy 63 nice coin great look even with your color flavor
Here are a few that show the luster better
MS63
The scratch from the "T" in "STATES," in the second set of pictures, limits it to MS-63.
I'm not sure I'm seeing which scratch you are talking about
Look at the bottom of the "T" and back toward the eagle's (short) right wing. That is a long and significant mark.
Do you mean the T in United? I was looking at the T's in States.. lol. No wonder I couldn't see it
Looks like it is 63 or higher to me. I'd send it in to help you "calibrate" your $2.5 eye. PCGS is pretty forgiving on $2.5 eagles as long as they have booming luster...from my experience.
Looks nice 62, shot 3
63

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
MS63....on a good day, it could go 64.... nice coin.....Cheers, RickO
I like it as a 63.
'dude
I would call it MS63.
58 or 62
Second set of pics: Flatness on eagle's shoulder and Indian's headdress plume,...if no luster it's a 58. Otherwise a 62, no 63. The first set of pics show much more detail in the above mentioned points...63. Coin-nundrumn...indeed.
