The 32 S is known for having a weak strike. I'd need to see the coin in hand to see if the lack of complete wingtips is due to a weak strike, or a result of luster breaks

63+ for me as well.

Going by your comment it surprised you I'm going with 58 or 58+!

I would say MS63.... cannot determine if there is luster or just reflected light.... Cheers, RickO
63
Some good guesses, but so far no one is right!
I don't see why it couldn't be a 65. Depends on luster. The reverse looks a bit nicer, at least in the photos.
I’ll take 65
64+

Even though I know it’s wrong, I’m still going with 64.
I'm also thinking 64+ , nice example!
58
I was going 65 - no plus
Good looking coin…perhaps a very nice 62 if the luster is a little flat in hand. Wouldn’t have been my first guess but you gave a hint about no one being correct yet.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
61 gold CAC. Nice coin either way.
Ouch, that's pushing it, ye think? 🙄
62
62+
Technically looks 62 to 63 in my eyes, but superb eye appeal for that grade! Nice pickup!!

I know what grade would be surprising- a details grade

I was wondering what was at the bridge of the nose up to the forehead?

@TPRC me too, I figure just some whacky toning

We have some correct guesses! According to PCGS, it grades MS62. I thought it looked better in the images, but on closer inspection, there are enough small hits on the cheek and impaired luster to keep it from grading much higher. One of the larger hits actually looks like toning, so I was fooled, but I am still happy with it. I could see it going MS63 but the luster is quite subdued. The price difference is not enough to really fool with regrading. I might let our friends at CAC look at it in the future.
Believe it or not, its toning.
Some of the toning could be misconstrued as friction on the high points of the Eagle, and he said he was surprised. PCGS having seen it in hand clearly didn’t see any evidence of faint friction in hand, and I am very glad to be wrong. So having ruled out any friction, with surfaces that clean suggests it was penalized for subdued luster.
If all 62's looked like yours, I wouldn't collect any other grade.
