I hope it pulls a UNC grade, AU55/58 on a bad day. Beautiful coin!

From the level of detail, I was thinking MS60 - MS62
However, seeing the spots on the reverse I think that'd bump down the grade.
I hope it's UNC, but I'm going to guess:

AU-58

Noice coin.
Unc detals or unc. Maybe quick acetone soak tp arrest the vergis. Its not going to get better with time. Verdicare might be good and more affordable solution also.

Sure looks MS, but might pull a details grade depending on the surfaces under the dark spots on reverse.

Yeah the obverse is excellent, but the reverse might get it a details grade. UNC details here.

AU55; coin has seen circulation; reverse is a bit unpleasant but I think it would full grade.

I am not quite sure the surfaces are original. That color is quite strange for a Large Cent, even uncirculated.

thank you all for the help

it could be it has seen some circulation, but not a whole lot its still in exellent condition and almost no contact marks
the faiding of the luster and the verdigris is what makes the surface a bit weird and beaten I also used a yellow plain bulb to capture the picture on
i'll try to capture some under LED and daylight

owh yea any1 care to try and Newcomb this I thought the N-2 just because it has no curl but thats a ssumption
but I'm not 100% shure on that I lack the resources to be able to atribute
Nway some more pics

58 because wear above the ear is obvious but not sure if the rim damage at 6:30 on the obverse will hurt the grade.
