Die polishing lines on neck ? Those lines on the neck and cheek appear to be regular scratches under a loupe, not die polishing lines. Unfortunately, these photos have more glare than I'd like. |

I'm thinking 64 FSB.
Probably dipped once and that's where the scratches came from. They will hold it back from a higher grade.
All-in-all, it is still a nice looking coin!

What kind of dip would make scratches on a coin  |

What kind of dip would make scratches on a coin When someone dipped it in Jewelustre (to remove the 100 year old tarnish), rinsed it in water and then dabbed it with a terry cloth or paper towel. "Poof" - Instant scratches! (Sorry I wasn't clear in my original reply!) |

MS-64 FB, great luster. I don't think the hairlines on the neck would be enough to detail it.

The high points are somewhat worn at the wing and hair, strike is suppose be strong for the year, obverse has 2 minor nicks under cheek and neck with minor rub.
MS-64 FSB from this photo, but weak and may deter 3rd party from assigning a FB designation.

I'm in the group that the coin may have been cleaned due to those hairlines especially visible across the neck area. the coin is just to bright and not in a blast white way. they don't die polish the relief. MS64 probably makes FSB. chance it would details for cleaning/polish

MS-65 FB
You might want to consider getting this one graded. Bid for a 65 (no FB) is about $400. That jumps up to $990 if it comes back full bands.
