i need opinions on grade and value. thanks. I'm finally honing my photography skills. I feel like the obverse doesn't capture the full luster how id like. its a little off.

Full Bell Lines, Franklin halves generally command greater premiums if they have fully struck and mark free bell lines. Grading companies will give a FBL designation after the grade.

It has the cleanliness to go high MS but the marks just right of the ol' sniffer should hold it at 63-64. Zooming up on the pics the question on the bell lines is in the upper ones just left of the crack. Let me put it this way. If the grader got lucky the night before that soft area won't stop it from going FBL.
