Beyond my pay grade. I'll take a stab at MS-63BN. How wonderful this is.

Slight wear on the high points, long since patinated over.
AU-55.

I will say 58 . Looks like light wear though a MS-63 would not surprise me.

I'll say AU-55, would be 58 but I see rim damage at 10 o'clock on the obverse.

Very slight wear, small ticks and a couple larger hits, no apparent luster but that's not really a flaw for AU early copper. Strike weakness on OF and the upper right-side wreath. Surfaces look pretty original and eye appeal is very good. AU-58 seems likely. If it got a mint state grade it was a gift IMO.

TPG AU55 all day long. This is a later die state IMO since the crack has developed which connects the die rust lump below the serif of the E in UNITED to the die rust lumps on the left wreath stem directly adjacent. I would have to consult Manley when I get home, but this looks like a 4.0 die state if I had to guess (I don't see the crumbling above LIBE associated with 3.0 but the holder is in the way) Beautiful coin.

PCGS called it MS(61)! There seems to be some luster in the pictures, albeit not much, but I am not an expert in early copper.

Grade aside, just one cool coin.

I was at MS62BN see that PCGS went MS61, won't quibble, it's got a lot of luster left and nice surfaces which can be hard to find these days. So many of the (lower) high grade coppers have been messed with in attempt to "improve them" it's nice to see original coins like this.
