I just received this coin back from being graded by PCGS. Curious what your thoughts on the grade are.   |

Nice original looking coin. Looks MS to me so I am going to go with MS-61

May have a slight rub (or weak strike area) on the Eagle's chest, wing tip looks sharp...I would give it a MS62. Nice one!

I'm never any good at these but I am going to say AU - I think they dinged you for the stain on the reverse on the upper right as well as the weak strike on the reverse relief lower wreath.

I will guess MS-62. A beauty!

Assuming it didn't get dinged for artificial color or cleaning, my guess would be AU58.
It looks like a slider that with some breaks could go as high as MS63.

MS63 - is this a Snow variety?

I see slight wear on the high points of the obverse therefore, AU58 would be my guess.
Nice eye appeal.

I am a poor judge of grades on copper coins, my eyes just dont pick
up on the details like they do on Silver coins.
That said I will say MS-62 I dont see the wear on the obverse others have seen.
Great coin and one you should be proud to own.

I'd say about MS60. I recently got an 1858 Flying Eagle cent for $1.00 at a local coin show- but I'd say mine is at best a G4. |
