65
MS62+
What I do know about this date is not much, that there is a huge jump from AU to MS. From my efforts on short and mid-date sets, I know I'd look at the spots as limiting factors, no matter how much a condition rarity or strike rarity these come, so I'll go with 62

These S mint Walkers are always tough to grade. Looks like a weak strike as usual, but also appears to be a bit of wear also. It seems dull and lackluster to me so I will say 58.

63.
For a 35-S, the strike is excellent, the luster looks like it maintains virgin frost and the surfaces are very nice. The spots and speckles hurt.
Still, I can't see it as less than a 64, as without the spots, I think we might be talking 65, at least. Eye appeal matters though.
All of this based on an image that I may not read right.

64 with middle eye appeal. Well, I love original skin as much as anybody, I can do without the spot in a focal area and the market preference for these is whiter and more lustrous

I'll say this, I'm glad is hasn't been dipped out and yet the spots are a bit unattractive. My guess is 64.

Definitely MS, and a far above average strike for a ‘35S….one of the better I’ve seen.
The toning spot at the date is a little distracting, but I’ll still guess 64.

For a 35S I wouldn't be surprised if it graded 65

Looks like it might be in a rattler. Needs to be dipped for ultimate eye appeal and I don't think that spot on the date will come out.
I think it's got a decent strike for an S mint. I can see the thumb and a full head.
I'll go 65. I think it's changed color in the holder.

Eye appeal not the best from these pictures, but I cant see many marks.

63, wish that carbon spot wasn't right on the date.
63, the carbon spot costs it at least three points. It's a stunning Walker, IMO, except for that spot. A major insult that conjures comparisons to, say, a snuffed-out cigarette on Michelangelo's "David."
Now if the spots were scattered all over the coin in a really ugly pattern, then it might sticker as gem.
Thanks for all the comments and guesses. Here is the slab.
