MS67 or $67? $67 would be fair, MS67 is not even a question.

I would say if the coin you are showing is MS, it would be MS64/65 range.

this is nicely struck 84(O) which are typically soft.

too much light glare to assess all the surfaces. most likely in the MS65 range. reverse may be 66. 67 is not happening

Unable to grade from these photos due to too much lighting.

I'll say MS-65, possibly MS-66.

Let's see some real photos.

if you are using a phone you can try this

1. turn off flash
2. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
3. move phone about 3in from coin
4. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
5. hold phone steady. if you can't then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring

Grading ONLY off these photos, Unc Details-Cleaned. The luster is highly unnatural.

Strike is average for an 84O - clear weakness in hair above ear, over forehead, lower locks and eagle's breast feathers.

This is not a 67 because of the marks on her chin and scrape going diagonally from below her nose to her neck. That is what I can see on these images. The brightness / glare may be hiding more.
