Oh, come on, what y'all scared of? The worst that can happen is you'll be wrong, and maybe you'll learn something...

it's a photograph - so it's hard to say- but it looks a little rugby on the jaw and tip of the chin. the reverse looks MS to me.
I've seen PCGS grade an AU 1972 Type 2 - MS-65... so think about buying that mistake!

This coin is NOT AU. There is no rub on it. Would you prefer a scan? You can't see luster with a scan.
It's a 64, by the way. A touch overgraded, imho, based purely on technical aspects, but it's got great luster, and I'd imagine that's why it bumped. 63 obv, 64 rev, 65 luster, 64 strike. Average 64.

FTB, is this coin really MS-64?

Again, can't say for sure based on the dark exposure. MS-64 would probably point to some very excellent luster- which isn't uncommon for the type 2. however, those hits would prohibit this coin from getting a CAC sticker. like you said a touch overgraded. I should get a CAC 65 back in the next week- I'll post an image for comparison sake. I thought the coin would go 66.

I think MS64 but I'm not so up to date on my Ike grades. They are really hard to get in really high grades I know.
