Not an Indian expert, but I think you are probably seeing a little strike weakness. Based on my experience with Lincolns, I don't think a 150 year old coin can get appreciable wear while still retaining that original red mint luster. I don't see red coins like that in AU slabs as a general rule. I think it is MS, probably 63RD.

Good point. It would be hard to get wear on a small part and not all over.

There might be something going on between the "8" and "6" down towards the bottom loops of each digit. An image outside the 2 x 2 would be beneficial.

I see MS63RD all day. The strike is weak in places, I really don't see it as wear.
