My Photograding wag is a really nice looking 66. I see some micro chatter around corner of mouth. I cant tell whats going on at the nose tip. How's it look in hand compared to pics?

It's a photo....
So, with that disclaimer and with what looks like something going on behind the head and in front of the nose, MS65. Potentially MS65+ as it does have eye appeal and appears nice for a 65

I'm with the PQ 65 crowd. Just a couple too many visible obverse ticks holding it back.
It looks like the luster is outstanding though.

This is a shot of it taken a couple years ago.

Picture taken at optimal range using Macro -

no editing other than cropping to size. Pretty much "spot-on"!

No chatter around the mouth & as for the speck on the nose,
it could be just a tiny bit of dust or the positioning of my lights.

I'll take a closer look & try to take fresher pics a little later, time permitting.

Thanks for the input & opinions.
