I am curious how different people will view this coin. I have my thoughts and will share them as the thread moves along. This is about the look and not the particular coin. I think this will be interesting.
Edited because I forgot pictures.

I would choose both "Crusty Original" as well as "Not My Cup of Tea" if given the opportunity to choose more than one option. However, given that I could only choose one I went with the latter.

Not a coin I would buy..... not lustrous (at least not in that picture), looks like PVC or some residues.....dings on the cheek and hairlines. Cheers, RickO
The coin is PCGS MS65. It also received a gold CAC sticker. The schmutts on the cheek and above the ear look bad to me. I know sometimes this look when rotated under a light can be appealing. If this is not PVC what does PVC look like? I am embarrassed to say I have no clue how to identify PVC.
Maybe someone could post some pictures of PVC. I get in some cases it may be easy to identify. Its the ones that are not obvious I have a hard time with.
I'd look for another example but that's just me, fwiw
What @TomB said. Entirely.

I'd try to find one where the back blade "lines" line up,,, ? Is oh nvm let's see if you see anything I might've missed.
Thanks for sharing
It's ok. Not a coin i would buy without seeing it in hand, but it's entirely possible it's a decent crusty original in hand.
It looks doctored,,, maybe even spray painted in spots. JMO
Thanks all
PS also if the Engraver was allowed to leave a mark those matter to me.
You may have missed the OP’s followup comment that not only did PCGS straight grade it as MS65, but CAC gave it a gold sticker! Regardless, my vote was “Not my cup of tea”, and remains unchanged.

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

Too much of the surface looks cloudy to me. The good part is that it has no significant marks.
No I seen it was graded and got a gold bean, then I'm looking even closer and I can swear I'm seeing coin wrapping machine DMG not major but it's there.
Still a great coin just not for me
A good thread to highlight the pitfalls of trying to accurately grade a coin from a dinner-plate sized image.
I guess I have no opinion. It probably looks different in-hand than the photo would suggest. That’s not so unusual.
How about this coin?
Yes I really like this one
thanks for sharing,,, can we see an up close of these,,, not saying anything is there just curious 🧐🤨,,, ok yes there's an S inside the 3 and right below the IB there's something on the obverse,,,, also reverse 2nd C in Francisco there's an S inside the C,,, roof looks doubled under the bridge.
Thanks
