MS66RD

looks like a die crack across the steps. there are a few marks in the field above CENT and some very minor marks on the lapel from the bowtie to the rim. very clean shoulder which is rare. it has the appearance of a woodie.

not a whole lot of value until it would get to 68RD

really nice coin

64/65RD, depends on eye appeal and luster which I cannot see.

BTW - Assuming your background is white, you need to adjust your white balance. The coin color looks off because of the balance.

For color reference, your coin should be closer to this:
