Nice color and surfaces, looks problem-free and mint state. Strike and luster are not quite as strong as on the coin SsuperDdave posted but there are fewer marks. The faint blotch on the neck does not detract much. MS-63BN seems about right.
N-10 variety as noted, probably the most commonly-seen type, heavily represented in the Randall hoard.
Great type coin! Congrats!

I better stick to my day job. That is still a sharp N-10!

They were extremely conservative on that coin. Wow!

Please point out the "wear" on this coin, as I can not find it...

I think there is a light rub on the high points, but it's hard to see from the pictures. It's a great looking coin! It still has lots of remaining luster on the reverse especially (Based on the Slab pictures). |

I still think it's a technical MS coin and might grade as such if it were ever resubmitted to PCGS, I think NGC is the toughest on copper coins so AU55 isn't a big surprise from them.

This coin does not look like an AU coin to me. I would bet some serious cash on an MS grade if you resubmit for a re-grade.  |

Thanks all. Well, I am done upgrading my early 7070 cents for a while. The next "weak link" would be the draped bust large cent, which was an ANACS XF-40 with some strike weakness. A suitable upgrade would run deep into 4 figure territory, so I will hold off for a while, unless an irresistible deal comes. [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/jwa81tj]  [/URL] |

 what a nice looking set! I'm envious of the early copper on that board!

I would have left the coin in the slab!

I suppose if I wasn't working on my 7070, I could have left it in the slab and tried sending it to CAC. Maybe a gold bean? :-P

I don't know what NGC was thinking when they graded it AU-55, but I had no problem cracking her out for the 7070!
