Hard to tell from a scan, but my guess would be a #65.

Hey who knew!
Like Staller said it is very hard to color judge the A25 issues even with supper hi rez scans. But my first guess is, if it is a 64 issue it would be a 64b. If possible please provide a clean hi rez scan and we can see what it looks like. Also, there are several threads posted here showing what the 64's should look like. Maybe that will help you.
The best

Let me throw this one out for comparison as I believe this is also a 65

Hello!
To my tired old eyes, your stamp looks to be a Sc#65 or possible a 64b. The reason I say this is because your scans exhibit far to much of the rose color. Attached here are a 64, 64a, 64b, and 65's.
I do hope this helps, but without having the stamp in hand there is no positive way to tell. I hope you do understand that the A25 series is, if not the hardest, defiantly one of the hardest stamps of US pre 1900 issues to judge color.
Ron



Sc# 64 Pink


Sc #64a Pigeon blood pink



Sc #64b Rose Pink

Stalzer!
I agree yours is a 65 that is shifted more to the rose pink side.

Here is one little trick that I have found to be fairly consistent. The 64 pinks usually do not have a clear crisp impression, especially in the back ground weave. and I use them as a start when trying ti identify the other A25's. Reference the one I posted here.

The 64a's will always have that lavender or blueish tint.

The 64b's will almost always move to the rose pink tints' the more pink you see the earlier the issue. But if you see rose it is a 64b or 65.

The 65's will almost all have the rose to brown shifts in them with some of the latter issues almost looking like a 66 lake.
See why I love the a25's
