Weakly struck MS of some sort (as you know, Bill, I'm not a "bright and shiny" collector). Weakly struck by the base of the vertical crown jewels, the shoulder ornamentation, mustache and the ends of the leaf lobes.
I've just had a bunch of this series come back from ICCS. Lustre is everything. It's a great coin. I'll go MS-63 with a chance for MS-64. MS-65 is a very high bar to reach for this group.
Thanks to all for sharing your opinions. My take on the coin was it has a strong strike to the lower portion of the obverse the jewels and ribbons running from the kings shoulder are very well developed however the top portion is still weak around the crown. It's fairly clear of bag marks and the ones it has are somewhat minor and not at all distracting. I believe it's got a great shot at MS64 and I've also seen MS65 coins less attractive.
