Tough to say with all that toning. Can't move the coin around to look for hits.
It sure is a pretty coin. From what I can tell it's a 65 mabe 66.

I’ll guess MS63, bumped up a point for color, resulting in a 64.

62, I’m going on the low side.

63
I would say exactly what MFeld says: I’ll guess MS63, bumped up a point for color, resulting in a 64.
Whats going on below the word "dollar" on the reverse? I'm in the 64 camp.

I think this one could be a 65. That hit on the chin gives me a little concern though.
To me, the reverse looks cleaner than the obverse.

Maybe, I can't tell much through that toning.

Not sure what the chatter is, but there are several places on the reverse that looks like something going on before the strike (the bottom of dollar, starting over near the E in ONE. The top of AMERICA, and again over on the left side running vertically underneath the wing). Could just be discoloration?
Pretty coin, regardless of the grade. I'll venture it graded at 63.

I think you are referring to some of the die cracks on the reverse die (there are a few other lighter ones).
Agree it has some nice color to it.

I was leaning towards them being die cracks, but couldn't see them on the actual devices.
the reverse is solid actually, I will guess 64+
MS65. NGC would give it a star probably.
Not these days.

It's a 62+
.....I could see it as a 63 but 62 is more technically accurate; you can argue the plus is there for the color or for it being close to a 63.
Im always fooled by toners.
Beautiful color.

True view glamor shot made it look better than in person.
I'm selling a reverse toner with similar toning pattern.

Yay, I'm the only one who guessed 62. I didn't have the "+" though.
