I think I see a touch of wear.
If so, the AU-58.
If not, I don't see anything that would keep it from being MS-64.

I would need to see this one in hand to give a more solid opinion. Hard to see if it is rub or strike by his ear and his cheek. I am at MS-62 or MS-63 if there are no signs of rub.

Does it have any cartwheel luster?
It's a nice looking coin, very hard to grade from pictures. I would send this to PCGS.

AU-58, a beauty. Looks like some light rub on the high points.

Tough. Without having a sense of the luster, I could only say either 58 or 63/64 BN.

Regardless of grade that is a really nice example of an iconic key date!

Thank you all for the many opinions. Much appreciated.
I bought this coin at a 1987 Bowers and Merena auction where it was described as 'Mint State, wood-grained toning'. I recall I paid $330 for the coin. I am only mentioning this because it highlights the price increase these 'key-dates' have seen in the intervening years, even accounting for inflation I would say. Maybe I should have bought a roll of them back then!

Ah, the glory days before slab inflation :( Two of my favorite coins in my books (1909 VDB, no S in VF35; 1883/2 Shield nickel -FS013.2 LDS in VF20) are raw LCS purchases from "those days". I paid $3 for the VDB and $28 for the nickel. That is one SERIOUSLY beautiful S-VDB I am not worthy of such a beautiful Wheat cent :P Also, $330...
