I would like to hear some thoughts on where this cent could grade. The flip had AU55 on it. Thanks!

Some of the details look a little weak due to strike. Comparing this coin to PCGS photograde, I have it at AU-50 mainly because of the flatness to the central cheek area and just above the eye.

IMO it's low AU.
Describe it as if there were no picture.

AU-53 but because of original surfaces, mellow leather colored patina and just down right eye appeal an AU-55 is in order. Just a common Indian cent in an uncommon original condition, love it.

At first glance I was thinking Snow-4. I might give it a bath to get a better look in the denticles.
