Seems most of these I see have plenty of die cracks (which I like), but this one is a beaut!

Pics a little blurry, but looks uncirculated to me. Nice pick up!

Grading a 65 from those photos is nuts, quite frankly. The centers didn't fill on most strikes with most dies and the sharpness of center details is MORE important than numerical grade only.
The III looks to have zero column lines, which would be a terrible strike. On the other hand I don't spot any cruddy die cracks that are usually so prevalent.
Common date, fun type coin.

I think this is an uncirculated coin, possibly a 62 with weak luster. With better pictures I might change that to an AU55-AU58 as most people think above if wear or rub becomes visible on the obverse -- right now I don't see any signs of rub on the high points, but the photos are quite simply terrible.
The rims, especially on the obverse, tell me that this coin was struck from badly worn / deteriorating dies, probably reworked due to extensive cracking and clash (as Mox noted) which is very common on these coins, so I suspect the odd central reverse strike is a combination of die subsidence and die over-polishing.

Gotta agree with the Frog, that's a home run if I ever saw one!
