Along with the grade, feel free to answer if you think it beaned or not. The latter is optional; I sensed a number of our members object to adding that. But, as usual, the big reveal is tonight. Good luck!

On the fence between 64 and 65. How about 64+. Looks pretty original so I think it has a green CAC sticker too.
Nice clash, I would feel it would merit a 65 if no cleaning/dipping involved.

66…and no CAC if that is the grade
I think it looks pretty clean. I noticed the clash also. At first I thought it was a scratch then I noticed the shape.
With all that said I also say-
MS66 with a cac sticker.

nice piece, 64+ is my guess, I like your comment about the bean, that bean seems to irritate many, probably for the wrong reasons, but I get it. I'd say beaned here.

What’s up with the luster?
@lcoopie: pics are true views & represent the coin fairly, imo.

MS-65, no CAC
Lightly circulated 63
64+ CAC
Edited prior to grade reveal.
I'm not processing that. How can you tell it circulated if there's no trace of wear?
Because it’s a more acceptable response [due to the diminished luster] than lightly cleaned?
You mean you don't know yourself what you mean, you're asking me? Or you're saying it's cleaned? The luster is muted, that doesn't mean anything.

I need another Lincoln cent, I'm way better with those.
Way out of my comfort zone but I'm at 64 with no CAC.

Yup. And lightly circulated for a nickel [that won’t show any wear for a long time] is as good a reason as any
@Eldorado9 nailed this one as he got both the 65 grade & the sticker (that part was optional today). But also correct with the 65 were @jesbbroken, @privatecoin & @alaura22. Thanks to all for grading & the good comments!

Maybe it didn’t sticker because they thought it was a 64

When all 65s look like that, gradeflation will be over and they’ll have to go to a 100 pt scale

You know, actually, that's a very interesting theory. And I'm not trying to be smart, saying that. Can circulation abate luster prior to showing any wear? If that's what you meant by lightly circulated MS63, I missed your point. But, yes, I think you're right, Sherlock, it can.
