Beautiful specimen. Lovely color.
I want to add for those who don't realize, the mark beneath the shield and to the right of the N in one are die clash marks not scratches. Likely also for the marks by OF and STATES on the obverse.
Is it raw?
I don't think that you overpaid, in fact I think you did well.

This one has a pretty tight spread in grading opinions. I am at the higher end of the tiny range. Thanks!  |

Don't trust the color, especially on the obverse, my personal opinion MS64BN, lovely die cracks, but might come back questionable color from a TPG.

Whoa. That lighter area on lower right obverse really detracts. I think it represents an amateur effort to clean that dark spot in the center which is still visible. Unc details. I think you overpaid since you asked.  Edited by Coinfrog

yeah, I checked the area carefully. I saw no break in luster in the area which I think shows up in the pictures, so not really worried about cleaning. thanks!

Do you think this could be where verdigris was removed? Just curious for future reference. The coin sure looks great otherwise

I think any chemical treatment would have shown up on the surface of the coin. There was probably some gunk on the coin that affected the toning of the coin which was later removed, and fortunately it did not affect the texture of the coin's surface.
