From the images I'd go 65.
The videos you have posted here and the other threads make the coins look like they have some sort of sheen, almost like they've been lacquered. Maybe it's the lighting but it doesn't look like normal luster to me.

I don't think in this case that the coin shows wear. It's got a "softness look" to it, with the obverse being struck from a die that is from a later die state. If you look at Black Diamonds mane at the top and along the left side you can see the incompleteness.
I think it's a nice, bright coin that should come back as a 64 due to strike.

The videos make the Buff look like an easy 66 - pics actually show some hits and dings from very light circulation. I think AU58 is a good grade to go......

Based on the image I was going to say 63, on account of hits on reverse and not being a real blazer. The video makes me think 65. Interesting the amount of die wear. The 38-d is actually a mid mintage coin, it’s just that so many were saved.

Really nice looking Buff.... but the rub/wear on the obverse leads me to think AU58. Cheers, RickO

Looks 58 to me
No lacquer on them.
The cheek makes it AU 58 IMO.
