Thinking MS60. Second set of photos -- Might be a die chip on the right wheat stalk, upper third. Also appears to be a subtle die crack on the lower portion of the left wheat stalk, leading to the rim--could be a scratch.

With that picture the color is red, so I'll change it to Red but there more dings and blotches on the reverse so I'll have to go down to MS 62 reverse.

I'll keep the front at MS 62. But it's color overall is very pleasing. I wouldn't slab it but would be happy to put it into my collection.

Overall MS 62 Red. In hand it might grade lower or slightly higher but I wouldn't grade this AU, it's a nice coin.

That picture makes it look red brown (mostly brown) and not as good as the top picture. I'm going to bow out as the lighting is playing tricks on this coin and the last picture makes it look worse than the previous pictures. Based on the last picture I'll agree with frog that's an AU coin.

Thanks for your knowledge gentlemen much appreciated. I'm guessing it's worth 1 penny then?

Maybe .50 cents if someone needs that to fill an album. I paid over a dollar for a common BU LMC as it was the last coin I needed . :) good luck.

I can generally grade pretty well when I have the coin in front of me and I compare it to photograde but this coin was tough. It looked much better and redder in the first 2 pages and then the 2nd coin confused me as I thought I was looking at the same coin (I only looked at the back) but the last picture made the coin much darker and really more worn. It's always a challenge when taking pictures to what the coin actually looks as lighting can mask faults.
