This purplish color will usually get you a BN, which essentially means "mostly toned".

Nice coin. I'll take that one over a generic looking 65 Red any day!

You see wildly-colored Indian cents in TPG MS holders all the time, and they're inevitably designated BN, even though there's not a trace of brown. I have always thought they should either change the BN category to TN (toned) or add TN as a separate category.

In my honest opinion you should have went for the flawless one instead . The strike is not bad , but I dislike the fields on both sides . 63BN is all I can do .

I love the color, but I'm not going over MS61BN for it. There's so much chatter I could see a TPG actually forcing it into a circulated grade - it nearly rises to the level of "damage."

I'm with superdave on this one. so much chatter all over the coin. you can find much better examples if you look. if I could not afford a clean MS example I would look for a high-AU piece

Lots of chatter, right, but greatly magnified in these images. It's clearly uncirculated, and I'll stick with 63BN.

I think you may be correct COinfrog, after taking a closer look at the reverse the coin may be MS, however, I'm not going higher than MS62BN due to heavy chatter

Keep in mind, though, the TPG's "market grade." This coin could have been awarded a grade higher than raw technical merit for eye appeal. They grade to what they think the coin is worth, not necessarily to the "grade." I could see myself offering a premium over what I thought appropriate technically, for the color.

Came today. Looks nice in hand. I guess the magnfication makes the hits look worse than they appear. much prefer this toned example compared to the details one I have in my 7070. Got a decent deal on it. $45.

Thanks for all of the help as always!
