It's just a nice red-brown cent I picked up the other day.
I'll guess this is around MS62 RB.

I don't know Kurt. I am concerned about the relief which appears to have some sign of circulation. The king's face, chin & mouth aren't well defined as I would have expected. Perhaps a weak strike?

Here is a certified MS-63 Red.

Marc,
Well...don't take my guesstimate too seriously! After all, it's not slabbed by ICCS, so I'm not certain at all...it could easily be AU
I also wouldn't attribute the face/chin/mouth definition to wear, and under the loupe I see a few marks, but no high-point wear, hence my MS guess! I see normal definition in the face, but perhaps not as bold as my '49 high-relief cents!

Yes I does look like a weak strike doesn't it. (I could doctor one to look just like this ) Hummmm.

I'd say AU-58.
