Grant has a head butt gash over his eye and countless ticks all over. I don't get it.

Maybe a planchet error? I don't know if that is PMD, I'd grade it much lower.

I think the dark line above his eye is toning or some other type of mark.

There are 3 deep hits on his neck and cheek.

The gash on his collar is a die crack or die polish line as it is raised

Agreed that this is a poorly struck coin with several die polishing lines ... likely a late die state example of the 67,400 1922 Grant 'no star' struck.

Concur that the mark on Grant's forehead is a toning spot of some sort.

That said ... strike quality is alas not considered a significant element of technical grading ... and as such this coin is likely at a minimum an unattractive MS63 example.

Grading is subjective ... and without the coin in hand I can not fault the PCGS MS64 grade ... although an experienced collector with knowledge of the strike characteristics of the series would have passed on this particular coin.
