AU-55 or AU-58.
Choice UNC, maybe.

There looks to be some slight rub on the hair above the ear and also on part of the jaw beard that could also just be some of the greenish mold growing on the coin.
I'm leaning toward very slight wear so AU58 for me.

Really hard to tell if this is a slider or UNC. I am going to say AU-58. Looks like it has been out of the house just a few times but only on Sunday to church.

It's a latter die state coin. With pics i'd say MS-63 BN!
EDIT: Cleaned up my act. I needed a bit of coffee before posting here on CCF!

I think what is confusing people is the die state, this coin is mid to late, so some of the detail has been lost in the finest design points.
The biggest clue we need to truly determine if this has been circulated is missing from the picture....LUSTER. If it is uncirculated, it will show clean, mostly unbroken cartwheel luster under the brown. This coin could very well be AU but without seeing it in hand, it's hard to determine. I choose to call it unc based the the lack of obvious rub, the absence of marks and mint state rims.

Wow, XF45 to MS64. There is luster and this coin does cartwheel. It's a bit challenging to photograph the luster when coins are this color (and copper in general).

Capturing the cartwheel spokes isn't too difficult, it's all about the light and how it hits the coin (angle). The trick is not letting the light cut-through the patina making the coin look cleaned. It takes some practice but it can be done.
