Looks above a 65BN to me but my eyesight isn’t so great.

It appears circulated with Lincoln's cheek and the top of the wheat ears saying AU. The color does not look natural.
AU Details would be my grade.
GEM is about right.
Nice toning!
I bet the luster is stronger than your photos show.

“GEM” as in approximately MS65 GEM, AU GEM or GEM, regardless of numerical grade?

Based on the first pictures, I would give it an AU58... Cheers, RickO
Yes.

I know everyone believes AU, but I'm going to say MS65 RB. The luster is nice as is the toning.
MS65+RB

I'm torn between AU55 and and ED.
Also, I am certainly not a photographic expert and admittedly have trouble with the camera. I have learned the best technique is to just leave the coin(s) on a flat surface and then figure out the lights vs. trying to get the coin(s) somehow at the proper angle to a static light source as you have attempted. Highlighting the color doesn't show us what the surfaces actually look like to attempt a grade.
JMHO.
Does ED stand for Environmental Damage?

Yes.
What makes you say that?

I don't see any luster break.
I believe it to be MS65BN

Very nice looking coin. I would guess MS65.
As @BuffalolronTail said ... I don't see any luster break.
The extra pics and video make it look MS.
Still not sure the color would grade out tho. If it did I agree with MS65RB.
AU RG ( red/green)
Not sure about the color, but the coin looks AU58 or so to me.
