If we assume the scratches are on the holder, MS 65 FSB.

MS60 not FSB. Could be unc details - scratched. Multiple hits to the right of the mouth. I see a bad gash across cheekbone, maybe more than one scratch, hard to tell from pic. It's close, but I see a small obstruction in the center band channel of the fasces.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Scratches are on the holder. If it wasn't an OGH I'd say it needs a reholder badly as part of the edge is broken and it has numerous deep scratches. There is a nick on the cheek (dimple? :) -- the entire profile is strike doubled left making the lips and everything else look funky. Reverse has three bag marks at the top diagonal fasces band; the rim has some light spotty brownish toning along with some areas that remind me of mid die state Indian Heads where the rims are starting to crumble but not yet forming Cuds, or perhaps where some bag marks landed that toning has started to affect. Here are some pictures that are cropped less closely, showing the slab.

Most of you nailed it as a 64FB. :)  Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I would definitely reholder it. The holder adds no extra value, since it is so beat up. Also, as I found out, there is a danger of cutting yourself on a chipped/broken slab.

It would cost more to reholder it than the coin is worth. :)
