Is this considered a red or red/brown and what grade would you say?

A bit much light on the coin to tell the real color but, it looks AU-50 to me.

Nice Indian.

judging by the way the coin looks in the picture I am going to guess there is no "red" left on the coin and would be given the brown designation by a TPG. Red would indicate color as struck from the mint with no darkening at all (basically has been in a perfect environment since it was minted) and RB indicates its more red than brown but does have spots that have turned. It looks like this coin is a solid brown color (even though it looks to be a redish brown) that a coin will turn when exposed to the elements

Very nice, however, the color seems off. I think it may have been cleaned in the past, although it could just be the pictures. I would call it EF45 details.

Odd that a part of LIBERTY is weak, and I only see 1 diamond. Still, I'll say a weakly struck XF40 altered color.

I think it is around a EF-40 but the surfaces do look light in color especially around the lettering and may or may not be original. There is a rim bump above OF. I would consider this coin brown.

XF40 brown, I agree the coin is suspect of an old cleaning.
Nice though, no doubt about that.
Open 3 variety I might add.
