Any thoughts on grade? I think it may have a shot at 67 comparing it to others.

Yea, too many ticks for a shot at 67,also looks like he cut his cheek trying to trim near sideburn....

Edited: Still a very nice looking coin

Surface details not clear enough to grade.

I got the coin in hand, and the fields are extremely clean and it has CRAZY good eye appeal. The only thing that concerns me is the scratch on the ear, which is only visible if you get the coin in just the right lighting. Do you think it would hold it back from a 67?

Looks like a scratch across the ear and up into the hair, and possibly extending finely into the cheek (second new obverse pic). Other chatter marks on the face as well. Overall, I'll say MS-65.
