This might well be PL or even DMPL. I found this grading sheet with the yellow and green columns online at one point but can'T find it to save my life. If anyone has a link to it it would be greatly appreciated!

63+ looks like a hit by the chin which keeps it from 64 for me. couple of hits in reverse.

Rest in Peace

those hairlines do not cross over the stars in the area. I'm going with polish lines. looks PL but there is just too much light in the photos its washing out the surfaces. the last photo gives the edge to PL. still cant tell if its MS64 or 65 as the cheeks are washed out in light. I'm still leaning to 64

Thanks a lot for your input. So that coin will travel to the TPG too. It's def PL or better I think which really makes it difficult to get rid of all the light on the surfaces. Was shooting for a 65 Pl from the seller's pics so am glad I got close to the mark.

Might post some pics to assess Pl or DMPL in the coming days.

MS-64PL, I think the hairlines might be die polish marks.
