Ok, I'll leave this up for a day or two before revealing how it was graded by PCGS.

Guess the grade...

No real problems, just a gentle rim bump. MS62. Nice example!

MS63 - there shouldn't be any designation for color since this was a Copper Nickel coin and not Copper only!

Nice coin, but appears to have been weakly struck on some of the letters in legend on the obverse and the left side of the wreath on the reverse. MS-62

Interesting how you get the variation in grading. 58 to 64. I said 62.

There some weak high points. Perhaps they are evidence of a weaker strike, or wear.
The patination on these points is OK, so if there was any wear, it happened a long time ago.
There is some striking weakness at the tops of the lettering.
