Tough call without seeing the coin in hand. I'll say AU-58.

The toning does mute the fields, but I'm seeing minimal marks. Not seeing any signs of wear. The scattered die polishing marks on the reverse are a bit distracting to me, but overall I like it! I'm with Grape at MS-64.

I like it at MS-63. A very attractive seated 'CC' two bit piece!  |

I'd give her an MS63 without thinking twice.
Beautiful!

It is a beautiful example but I think the obverse holds it to AU58 but on a good grading day it could pull a 62. Keep us posted.

Looks quite nice and MS63 sounds fair. The light abrasions below the eagles head might be a concern.

No worse than AU-58. I don't see any wear but the photos don't show whether luster is present. A mint state grade would require original luster over the fields and devices. If luster is intact under the toning then MS-63 seems very possible. It's a very attractive coin.

Thanks everyone. It was a tough coin to photograph and show the luster because of the heavy toning, but there definitely is quite a bit of luster under the toning. I don't see any signs of wear in hand, and I'm pretty sure it will come back mint state. There are also very few marks of significance, so I'm hoping it's on the higher end of the range everyone suggested. I'll certainly update here when it gets graded, but it might be a while before I send it in.

Absolutely stunning coin and color, I'll say an easy straight grade of MS-65 on this.

I'm seeing a little weakness in strike on the obverse. my only concern on the reverse are the field scratches by the eagle head which could be just from contact. grading by the photos MS63

I agree the scratches next to the eagle and smattering on the obverse hold it back a bit...say 63. The obverse die looks to be struck with a slightly rusted die.

All the fine lines around the eagle's head are die polishing lines. In hand you can see them cross under the devices. The only noticeable marks on the reverse are the thin scratch next to the eagle's left wing and the shallow marks above the motto. Otherwise the surfaces are pristine.
