Nicks on the rim between R and T as well as wing tips. Possibly some marks on cheek and neck. Something going on with hair too. Plenty of luster. Definitely FSB. Given that, I'd say MS62 FSB. A nice addition to any collection.

Nice coin and great clear pic--you should do photos for the auction sites. Definitely FSB. Something maybe going on with rim upper R? So I'd say stays MS65

Cheek and neck marks hold it to 64FSB.

The hits on the obverse rim, cheek, and on the hairline above the brow hold it to a (still very beautiful) MS 64 FSB for me.

a few minor blemishes are acceptable for an MS65 coin. MS65 FSB. remember that MS70 is a perfect coin not MS65. A lot of folks seem to forget that when grading MS coins. MS65 is not the standard for perfection

No argument. This is a close one for sure, 64FSB or 65FSB easily possible.

MS65 is not the standard for perfection It was until the ANA and later the TPG's started hyping MS66-MS69 to sell grading services and then slabs, but that's another subject entirely. The ANA's standards are loose, allowing no more than two large bag marks, small patches of hairlining, and small luster breaks (scuff marks) at MS65. This had to be done to create a market for, and justify the existence of, MS66-MS69 grades, all of the above being defects which would have once disqualified a coin from being considered Mint State 65 and knocked it down to Mint State 63, 60, or even About Uncirculated. I agree with Coinfrog that it could do either 64 or 65 FSB. I wouldn't have a quarrel with either grade and would understand the reasoning behind both.
