Hard to tell from the obverse pictures if there is any wear on the cheek or jaw. I don't see any with this lighting. The ear doesn't have much definition but I can't tell if it's because of the issues associated with all dies in this age range or wear. The fields appear clean.

Reverse has taken a few hits to the devices, especially lettering in the center. Overall it's a nice coin and based on what I see in these photos, my two-cents would be in the area of MS-60 to -63.
Rest in Peace

Don't see any wear and field look pretty clear - MS64BN was my initial thought

I'm going to say, MS-63Bn just because the photos are not the best.

Tricky, tricky....can you see detail in the beard? Looks like the obverse strike is soft. Does it cartwheel?

AU-64BN

Sharp but weak ,does that make any CENTS . I actually love this coin and would be happy to have it in my collection .
So my 54 year educated guess is MS64BN .
