Looks to be some rub on the high points.

Grade the reverse as mush.

100% original, no trace of wear whatsoever - Stacks graded it MS60 which I felt was undergraded. Thought it would grade a MS61 and MS62 on a good day.
I was really suprised on the AU53 grade. There is not a hint of rub

The knees, hair, cap, thumb, and breast would support that. IMHO

I was going to say AU-55, so I was pretty close!

Do you see think you see a rub on her?

I have had all my purchases from the to slab although I had to lightly dip one coin.
Ironically the last dime I just got back from PCGS was an AU53 too, his one was a coin with a rub for sure and I figured it would grade 55-58.
Side by side ( and I will add that photo) there is no comparison at all. This is much nice coin. I am certain this coin will upgrade if I resubmit it but am not going to do so.
I did get 5 of 8 upgrades last time I felt the coins were undergraded. This coin is a no brainer 61/2 on it's worst day.

I wasn't sure if I was seeing any rub on the reverse, but I don't see any on the obverse.
It does have an interesting color/toning compilation on both sides.

Now PCGS MS64
I wanted to comment on this comment as told to another member and posted by that member:

Folks... this is why there is TPG and if I were told that, it would be my last purchase from them as well. I guess they would not miss my business anyway as I recall only buying one coin from them in the past at a show and that experience alone is worth its own thread that will never be written. In any event, what a disturbing comment.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Apparently, it saw a day that was worse than worst. Worstest?
i cannot really make a guess to the grade due to the nature of the
coin and the pics. it is really tough to guess.
