That could easily be an MS67, NGC loved crusty toned war nickels with clean surfaces back in the "old fatty" days.
My first thought was a pitted die which is usually more localized than die wear, but since that wasn't an option, and I don't know if this same...
Wow!! That’s nice for a 47!
I will say 67 CAM, just because it is tough to get either 68 or DCAM on these coins.
I agree, looks Rev of 40 to me.
Last December, I found a 46-D with an RPM that didn't seem to match any that were listed on either NGC or Variety Vista, see linked thread below....
Why? The downside is only the cost of the grading fee, and the upside is hundreds of dollars.
That old holder has seen better days but that toning looks good peeking through.
I really have no idea, I don't collect Proof Jeffersons, just the business strikes. A quick glance at the NGC population report shows that the...

I'm at MS62 DMPL, but usually I am a grade low on these because every graze seems magnified by the PL surfaces.

My first impression was AU, my second impression was that the coin just looks hinky. The colors and progressions are strange for a Morgan Dollar....
That coin is spectacular and certainly clean & lustrous enough for a premium gem grade. I don't think it is MS68, because most 68s I've seen have...

I remember this coin, and I hope you get the variety attribution that you are seeking, but I still would have taken the $500. Good luck William!
The reverse looks MS66, but the obvious marks on the obverse focal areas should probably prevent a gem grade, leaving us with an MS64+. It is...
The 54-S is the notoriously worst struck of the entire Jefferson series, but in my experience, often has outstanding luster. It is probably that...
