AU58. For me the key for these coins is the curl of hair on the cheek on the obverse and the ribbon around the arrows on the reverse. I am seeing very light wear on the highest points of the hair and ribbon, especially the upper loop of the ribbon. Also it looks like there may be a spot of corrosion just under the arrows, though it could just be dirt/dust.

Rest in Peace

Nice sharp coin , I'm at AU-58+ Eye Appeal Is right up there . Take care of that reverse corrosion spot by bow before it gets any worse

I see no wear at all - everything is razor sharp. Unsure of color, but I'll say 65BN to be conservative.

I agree with Coinfrog. just a very slightly weak strike keeping it from a higher grade. I think there is more than 5% red on both side so MS65RB

Got to agree with Frog and panzaldi. I see no wear on the high points and virtually no marks of any kind. MS-65RB

65RB to me, but I'm not convinced the color is natural.

To me it looks as good or better as any MS63RB that I've seen.

how's the luster if you have it in hand? I didn't think it was gem for a few reasons...

I just looked at it and it has booming luster. The coin is much better than the pic shows as it's a bit overexposed.

thanks for the update and congrats on the coin. I was nitpicking. the coin looks very nice overall. with uninterrupted luster, I agree it is 63rb.
