Been out for a short walk around the block. Pix aren't clear enough to fully assess, but because of rim dings/discolorization and major hit/scratch on reverse, chatter on obv AU55 tops. Heavy pressure strike, typical of this year/mint.

 with frog. If the luster is full without less luster in the fields, it's MS. Almost impossible to tell that from single photos.

The spot above the eye is very distracting, some obverse field chatter, no deep hits or other distractions, nice reverse.
Variety?
64-65RD depending on luster

Here's the nicest one I could find in all my years of searching. Notice it's been struck through. I wish it didn't have that - but the luster on this coin is 67/68 level. A 1972 with lots of luster and not all beat up is a difficult coin to find.
