Based on what I can see in the photo I’d go 64 also. Nice detail and luster. One less ding in the obverse field or on the wrist might have gotten it to 65.

In general, you guys did very well. Congratulations to MWallace, ricko, Kliao, pmh1nic, and last but certainly not least the great Feldini. She’s in an NGC 7 holder (1997-2000) graded MS-64.
Does anyone remember the Kevin Ward collection of seated dollars? I believe Legend sold most of that collection around 2006.
An article published in the LSCC Gobrecht Journal asked Kevin:
“Aside from the 1851, 1852, 1871-CC, 1872-CC & 1873-CC rarities, which dates proved to be the most difficult to find?”
Strangely enough, the 1873 dollar was almost impossible to find in high mint state. I never could understand this because it has a very high mintage. I was able to locate the rarer dates and mints, but was constantly frustrated by the lack of a high grade 1873 coin.
A tough coin to find in any grade nice.
Congratulation
It doesn’t have the look that I prefer. The picture of the sale on Heritage are a little better. The spots and print bother me.
Is it cac’d?

MS64 looks good....slight rim ding on the reverse, minor field chatter on the obverse. Cheers, RickO
The halo effect around the stars gives me pause.

Unless the images aren’t representative of the coin’s quality and appearance, 64 looks like an easy starting point. So I’ll guess 64+.

Looks like a fully Unc' piece from the pictures, with few distractions. Luster is a little muted. 63?

For me, it looks like a dipped out MS-details... not a fan
How is the luster in hand? It looks muted/dipped out in the photos. The grade suggests the luster is better than anticipated.
Nice satiny luster, well above average for the date.
A tough coin to find in any grade nice.
