  I'd say high 63 or low 64 on that one.

  PS on second thought, I'd say MS63.

  MS 63. I like the toning on the reverse and rim toning on the obverse but there are 5 round indentations on the cheek that may be grade-limiting.

  I'll go ms63.
  
  I strongly agree it's either an ms63 or ms64.

  Interesting. I've got a bunch of 63s in OGH that look better than your coin. (No offense)
  
  These days, your coin would usually goes 64 but I would not be totally shocked if it got a 65.
  
  That said, I think it's a MS64.

  64 looks about right...

  OK, I want them to grade all of my dollars if they can do like this one. I will stick to 62+ because of the defects at the chin and jaw angle, otherwise "business" of a 63. If this was a rare date they would 62 I think (IMO).
