This coin will not straight grade. AU Details, improperly cleaned. Those colors may look nice, but they are all wrong for copper.

I am seeing next to no wear on that coin. Usual high points for wear are hair above the ear and the bonnet. These look almost unblemished/unworn so MS60 for me.

PS- I wish our friend celticsoul would return. He would set us straight.

I might go so far as UNC details on this one. GERMANICVS is correct, the usual wear on the high points isn't showing. I can not get around the color though. Yellowish greens and what appears to be orange brown are not natural toning.
For example:

after the bath the coin looks better but as far as the color goes I am not sure Celtic would be in love with it. I think EF large cents might be right about the color.

I'll say AU58 maybe MS62. Not sure on color either.
