Obverse pic is slightly out of focus. On the reverse there seems to be quite a bit of chatter. I think it falls a bit short of 65.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Lots of problems on the reverse - 64 at most. PCGS MS66 slabs go for less than $20.

I'd be at the low end of the MS scale. However, the coin would be a strong album hole filler until better comes along.

I'll say MS-64. Not worth slabbing at all. Common coin.

MS-63 at best. These are only worth slabbing at MS-67 and up.

This is more what an MS-65/66 level coin looks like.
