I might say an MS63RD on this one. I see a ding on Lincoln's nose and also right around his nose too. I also see what looks like another moderate ding under the "R" in America on the reverse. The strike is a little weak around the "O" in "ONE" on the reverse. The hair around Lincoln's ear also shows slight weakness in strike as well. If those green marks near the wheat ears are PVC, it won't grade until all the PVC residue has been removed. I can't tell from the picture whether it is PVC or not. Very beautiful coin.

I think I see a slight rub on the cheek and a little dirt on the obverse. This coin has some nice detail, which is pretty rare for this series due to worn dies typically used. I believe some the obverse high points didn't fully come out due to the dies being spaced a bit too much, it doesn't look like wear.

I can't tell much from the reverse because the pic is out of focus. But there appears to be a slight trace of wear. I'd give this an AU-58 without seeing it in-hand.
