My guess is maybe MS 63 Brown or maybe less.....so hard to tell without holding it.
Dark spots or rubs on the eyebrow, cheek, mustache and ribbon make me hold back on this one. It doesn't look like is was handled much,...but unfortunately,...it just went very dark brown..
Would that shine just be cabinet rub on the rim..?

The is almost no luster left in this guy. If this was a silver coin I'm pretty sure it would grade mug higher!

I'd bet "dollars to donuts" that it's not a specimen...not that I'm any expert on SP cents but here is one SP that maybe we can get some pointers from.   |

It would be much easier if you could crop the extra white out and get a sharp 800x800 pix of just the coin in here.

Remarkably I am using my iPhone to take photos so not the greatest! As for specimen, I think it would easier to compare to the same king as I cannot tell the difference.

Nice coin, JeyRey, but MS-60 BN, would be what I would give it.

AU-58. There is a hint of wear on the highest points. Pleasing color though!

It looks like a 67 to me. On another note, I would say high AU. As others have mentioned, there is slight wear on the high points....most noticably on the eyebrow, and on the band of his crown. Beutiful coin. Although it brings the value down, I love the nice even brown tone. |
