I can't see any wear at all, and it seems pretty lustrous. Just guessing MS-62, depending on what those little spots on the obverse are, exactly.

I meant 65, not 62, and yes, it sure could be PF, but we would need a better look at the suirface to tell.

I vote for a proof also. Check the alignment of the coin and see if there is about a 10-15 degree shift in obverse/reverse alignment. I have a 1905 proof also and it has that characteristic. Anyway, yours is a great looking coin. PG

Rims look proof struck, can't say for sure on the grade, as the photo may have washed out some marks in the fields, but conservatively I'll say PR63 are the spots dark like carbon or pits in the surface?

Also what are the darkish areas on the rev.? It seems to be covering about 1/3 of the back. Maybe just the photo or is is something else?

Exceptionally nice proof. Conservatively, assuming no trick photography, PF66
