AU55, but maybe light corrosion on the reverse?

Verdi-care would flip this coins world upside down.

We'll give her a verdicare bath and resubmit photos. There is some original luster peaking through on the reverse. One of my favorites as it has some awesome color

This coin will not straight grade. AU Details, improperly cleaned. Those colors may look nice, but they are all wrong for copper.

I am seeing next to no wear on that coin. Usual high points for wear are hair above the ear and the bonnet. These look almost unblemished/unworn so MS60 for me.

PS- I wish our friend celticsoul would return. He would set us straight.

I might go so far as UNC details on this one. GERMANICVS is correct, the usual wear on the high points isn't showing. I can not get around the color though. Yellowish greens and what appears to be orange brown are not natural toning.
For example:

after the bath the coin looks better but as far as the color goes I am not sure Celtic would be in love with it. I think EF large cents might be right about the color.
