I couldn’t imagine a grade of less than 66 on that coin.

I'd have to see it in-hand to know if it is RD or RB.
But I will guess RB.
So PR67 RB.

Nice coin. Almost looks like a rub on Lincoln’s cheek, but if not I’ll go PR 66RB.

Since I know you have good photography skills, I'm seeing subdued luster which I think holds it back from gem.
PC - PR 64+RB
NG - PR 65+RB
CACG - PR 58+ due to cabinet friction

Here goes nothing... MS66 RB green CAC

Here’s my thought process in arriving at my grade guess…

First thought - coin looks like a Proof.

Next thought - could it be RD? It shouldn’t be so I’m thinking RB.

What numerical grade is it? Multiple areas of the obverse (including the face, ear, hair, nose, beard and bust) are discolored. Is it carbon, crud, patina or some combination of those? Whatever it is, there’s a lot of it and it detracts considerably from an otherwise very nice coin. Would it look better in different images and/or in hand?

Going by the images provided, it’ll guess PR64RB. That said, I won’t be surprised if the coin grades a couple of points higher than that.
