    Luster looks suboptimal from these pics, so MS64.

    It looks much better in hand.

    That flat area of the hair would have me call it an AU, but I am still learning.

    Sometimes a weak strike can be confused for wear. The flat area is a weak strike.

    Educate us on your sound rationale. How did you determine that, specifically?

    I don't see any obvious luster breaks on the coin. But that can be hard to know for sure in photos.
