MS63 possibly 64. due to lighting its difficult to give a color. its either RB or RD. I'm seeing too much red for a BN. RD needs 95% red on both sides. if you twisted my arm and dont have better photos I'm leaning RB

MS64RB - I think the DDR look is just from the lighting on the left side.  EDIT: Maybe loses a point for eye appeal Edited by Rothery

I'm in with the "cleaned"crowd. Details just not sharp enough for me for MS anything. High features seem blunted, details around the right eye are not impressive, and the lines in the wheat don't seem parallel enough for me to be MS. I am leaning towards UNC details at best. Hey, that's just me...
Stay well,

It is for sure a proof...I cracked it out, and the die markers match.

Maybe the low light angle is making the color show that way, wanted to capture the die markers. These might help.    |

Out of all those photos,it's the last one that makes me think it is a proof. Back to researching  John1  |

Squared off rims sure kook like it is indeed a proof.
Sort of a "soft" obverse strike. Reverse is beautiful.

the second set of photos show the rims better. PF64 for weaker strike

Well here it is before I did some conservation on it...it is indeed a proof...was quest color details before...had some odd toning patches which I've dealt with...the luster is stronger than any of the other 3 proofs I own now as well. Hopefully this time around it straight grades.  |

If you look at the first set of pics you can easily see the die markers...die scratch off left side of bust towards the R of liberty, and the die scratches from the tip of the nose being the main diagnostics on die pair 1 of the 09 proofs.
