Saved an interesting 1969-D half-dollar from what was otherwise a heap of garbage coins

I finally got around to going through some cheapo "20th century type sets" - the kinds they used to market far above fair retail value in the 80s and 90s. ALL of the coins were pretty much terrible, being severely cleaned and smudged with glue to make them stick in the sets. The steel cents were horrible reprocessed examples... you get the picture. But there was exactly one coin that I figured was worth saving, and even this 1969-D half-dollar has some glue residue. Otherwise, I'd grade it around MS-63.
Opinions?

Glue residue, fingerprints. No, sorry.
Nice looking coin overall. MS64+ easily imo.
I would spend it.

Still has some silver. Give it away to a young numismatist maybe?

Thanks for the opinions! I agree - this coin will end up being another door prize for the coin club.

Nice
I think that will clean up nicely acetone. The toning might bump it to 65.
