Tough color to view through. It appears to be MS, with no rub outstanding. I think it hit 63. If you forgot you own something like this I wonder which coins you remember.

Something's wrong with this coin judging by the color.

I'll throw a hint out there. Straight on this coin has a matte like finish. Turned in the light there is a deep reflection. Does that help?

I'll guess they gave it MS-63 BN. Not entirely sure about the color.

Going to put this one to rest. I bought it because it looked different than most of the indian proofs I had looked at. It has a matte like finish with a little tone if looking at it straight on. rotating it in the light is when the mirror like surfaces appear. I am no where near skilled enough to illustrate that with a camera.  |

The surfaces almost remind me of a frosty Morgan but on copper

Reminds me of coins that have been in a rusty old can with water in it.

I looked at the denticles carefully after your hint. Because the obverse strike is slightly off center and the denticles were poorly defined at 6-9 o'clock, I wasn't sure this was a proof. The surfaces do look proof-like. Color differs a lot on these depending on the viewing angle. Beautiful coin.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
