I just picked this up on Saturday, I really like this little gal! 
I've been wanting a rattler, too, so this was a great pick-up all around.

Very nice. I really like the deep color on that one.
I agree. 63 then and 64 now?
Close so far.
I'll post the grade in a few hours and give others a chance to play.
I really like the color on this one!

Great little type coin. I'm in the 63 crowd.
I'll go with 63 also.
I see a mark just above the 8 that would make it a 63.
Nice original color, could see her in a 64 holder.
Congratulations.
What a nice coin. If it's not a 65, it should be!
I'm in the 64 boat. Fields are fantastic....but Strike might keep it from going much higher(?)
I'll be the odd man out and say 62
Lovely little gal! Congrat's!!!

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......
Looks almost gem but not quite 64
62

Scratches in right obv field suggest MS 63 but hair detail seems weak. Just the picture?
MS65
Hoard the keys.
MS63
They were very tight in the 80's:
My opinion is that it would 63 at very least, possibly 64...
Thanks everyone for the compliments and guesses!

From what I can see it's a beautiful coin with great luster and color and pre slabbing days I'd buy if price were right. I can show you 4-5 very similar and they graded 62 (still have them) which I thought was on the low side then.
I think you get a 63 easily enough and probably get a sticker but the marks on the right field and the fact there're on the obverse makes it very hard to get a 4. TPG don't seem to accept visible marks on small coins pass 63.
In today's world - MS 64
It looks to have beautiful, rolling luster and great color. Perhaps the MS62 grade was given due to what appear to be hairlines behind the portrait?

62?... Wow.. I would have said 63, maybe 64.... Cheers, RickO
Boy, definitely under graded.
I always like the type ones. They look like tiny twenties......
It has hairlines, but VERY minute. Very few bag marks, too.
It's undergraded no doubt.
I like her though and she was very reasonably priced given the 62 grade and getting her back of greysheet bid!

The strike appears to be a little weak for a Type 1, so I'm going with MS-63. I think it would make MS-63 today.
If you want to compare notes, this 1850 gold dollar is graded MS-62.
my first thought when i saw the photos was au58. sorry. it's hard to grade from photos. especially gold. cool coin though!
I like that 1850!

The trouble is the photo does not show the hair detail over her forehead and behind the ear. On a Philadelphia Mint coin that is usually strong. This one is weak in the date area and corresponding areas of the obverse.
Strike on these is probably less important than luster and marks. In that regards the 1849 looks 1-2 points nicer than the 1850 with better luster and far fewer marks. I would have guessed the rattler grade was 62 or 63.
this is my favorite type.
