If you don't count my two proofs, this is my best coin by far. I bought it on ebay for around $3 and I have been wondering about it for a while now. When I got it I placed it in a plastic case to protect it.
I was looking around online and I feel like this might be MS-66 or MS-67, what do you think?
To help with your evaluation, I have also recorded a macro video with my camera and uploaded it to YouTube.

Appears to be a nice coin but better photos needed--too dark and not enough detail seen. Try taking photos using diffused lighting, with the lighting source more near the vertical. Also, not shooting photos through 2x2 mylar will improve image quality (remove the coin and take a couple more photos).
Problem with your video is the coin is still in the Air-Tite and its a video. Can't really tell if the scratches and marks are on the capsule or the coin. Just pictures out of the capsule and with a better light source will be fine.
As noted earlier, it appears to be nice '58 D. Many, many, many rolls of fresh '58 Ds were hoarded by many collectors back in the day. As such, there's a relative abundance of mid-range+ MS '58 D coins out there. The video really didn't help much in terms of determining a grade. Having said that, I'll guess MS65+.
