1907 Indian Head cent. Lots of red with some frostier RB/BN areas. Lots of small nicks and dings. What am I dealing with here? AU? AU details? Lower MS? Cleaned? There is luster in-hand.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

MS61. color is tough on this one. could make RB since only 5% red is required. this will probably be your call as you have the coin in hand and judge the color better

I think low mint state is probably right. I hope the pics do not do it justice.

For those of you who suggest the coin has been cleaned, please point out what you are seeing. I ask b/c I'm learning. Thanks

Color is dull and muted combined with numerous nicks and dings indicating mishandling. The original red/brown colors have been stripped away, compare it to the 1908 next to it in the Dansco, which has great color.

With the new pics, I believe this coin has been cleaned. Color looks an un-natural red. AU-53 details.
