A little "modern" for me, but I'll play.

I am going to go with MS-62 RB. Think that the obverse shows some signs of a weaker strike, but I am not certain it is wear. Interestingly, what looks like wear is on points lower in the relief, where the higher points actually look cleaner.

Am I being dramatic, or does anyone else thing that it might need to be sent back in for conservation? Signs of verdigris on both the obverse and reverse, it seems. At least to my eyes, they appear to have a greenish tinge to them.

Had to look at this coin a couple times.

I am with the 64 crowd and a shot at 65, in RB.

NO hits in the fields or the rims. Slightly worn obverse dies and mid state reverse dies.

So, 65 RB.

PCGS put this in an MS62rb holder. I think it's pretty accurate. The 09s always has weak feathertips and are not well struck for the most part. The oictures don't show it well, but the obverse is about 80% red.
