Looks like a 66 . I hope that discoloring on the reverse is on the slab or a 65 wouldn't surprise me .
The die states are a little past-it so to speak and it is nicked-up some. MS65 looks good to me from a condition-standpoint. If you're curious what I think a minimum-wage market grader at one of the top TPGs would give it in their packaging, I'll say MS66.
Not my area, but I'm gonna low ball the works of you and say 63. Lots of dings on that coin and I've sent a few cents into PCGS that graded lower because of them. On the plus side, if I'm wrong then my entire collection of raw coins just went up in value exponentially!!
I have a feeling your collection is worth more than you think , no way this is a 63 , 65 at the very lowest and most likely a 66 . : )
I am not sure what happened below AMERICA, but that and the mark in front of his nose are all visible to the naked eye. Nice luster and very nice strike and I am not sure how much of that blotch was there for grading so PCGS gave it a 66. Since they have 66 RB's, that blotch should not count for that much, so that coin easily deserves a 66 IMO.
The only changes this week were 5 through 8 played musical chairs. Otherwise, all the top 10 remain less than 0.50. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses.

Holy Smokes! Where did MNcoinman come from? Well done, sir! I've been away attending to business, and haven't had the time to frequent this forum recently. Sorry. Please believe me I'd have it otherwise.
