I'll take a guess. MS-64.
Errers and Varietys.

Nice coin and cool toning. I'm thinking MS64+.

I'll say MS-62RB. Lots of ticks and spotting. Not really a fan.  |

I'm with coinfrog on this one. not a fan. although the shoulder and lapel are pretty clean the surfaces have just too many ticks, spotting, field discoloration and add to that a mushy obv strike and some weakness on the top of the right stalk.
MS62RB

Looks like it did double-duty.

OBW end coins are toned only on one side. This coin is toned with obvious end-coin toning on both sides. So it was probably an OBW end coin for some time, then it was flipped over and replaced in the roll, only to tone again on the other side. Double duty.

Looks much nicer in hand, great cartwheel luster and hardly a hit on it. I like it as a 63.

The "axial/reflective" lighting really makes any surface imperfection show up strongly, but it's the only way to make those colors really POP. I find a compromise to around 75deg still brings out colors, and shows a bit of luster, without over-emphasizing the surfaces.

I find a compromise to around 75deg still brings out colors, and shows a bit of luster, without over-emphasizing the surfaces. Typically, I use only direct lighting. However, to achieve some shots I do move my light away to make it indirect, i.e. airtite shots. I've found the airtites too reflective to use direct light so I back it away, slabs are similar. All the pics of this coin use direct light, I change the camera angle to bring out the color. However, it does expose the surfaces "under" the patina making the coin look much worse than it is in hand. That's the only way I know to get the colors to show.

Yep, when you change the angle so the light reflects off the coin, it's the same effect as axial to bring out colors and surface details. Often it is not very flattering to the coin and puts it in an "unfavorable light".
