Seller had it listed on the flip as "AU", no numerical. It looks like my 1862 and 1861 in color, so I think it's real color.

I do not see a recolored coin, hard to say for sure with pics. Nice coin, nice surfaces, AU all day!

I'm not seeing any problems that would detail it. I'd be putting my tent up in the AU-55 camp.

CN (copper-nickel) cents often have a different color, and from the photos this looks typical and natural. AU-55 from me, too. I'd be happy if I had this one in my collection, don'cha know.

Pics vary so much that it's hard to confirm much of anything other than (to me) some slight wear, so I'll go with 58 as well.

Nice coin, color a bit questionable but looks AU-58 to me.

Going to try a slightly different camera setup on my next IHC post. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

Okay. So I made a nicer area and got my new Nikon out and put it in 55mm and came up with this.  Better shot of the reverse die crack, too.  However, now I'm worried -- the rim looks weird, obverse, from 12:00 around clockwise... what is that?   There is also noticeable Strike Doubling on the obverse legend which I missed the first time. Weight is 4.7 grams +/- 0.1:  Any ideas? Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Definitely AU55 camp here....I recognize this coin from the ebay seller I got the 1885 from.....how were the other coins you bought? The 71 looked okay from the pics. |

AU55. No problems I can see.

RedRaider, all cleaned except for the 1863. I figured as much, but having bought the 1863 for only $45 or whatever it was, I think it accounts for the others quite nicely. You may remember that in your thread where you "got lucky" I said I'd go buy the other 5 listings he had up and see what happened.
